$2 to each star in the galaxy, and still have enough left over to be ludicrously rich, and have more than anyone could reasonably spend in multiple lifetimes.
Imagine, you go to quit your job cuz you think our galaxy looks like a rug but your boss explains to you that that is a whole different galaxy and ours doesn't look like that. You start crying and your boss says to you, "There there, don't cry over spilled milk."
We’re looking at vast distances, and there’s no depth perception here. Like seeing constellations, those stars that look clustered up are actually much farther apart than you realize, but you can’t tell the distance just by looking at it
They are very sparse on a solar scale, but not on a galactic scale
Also this view might include red dwarfs which make up like 75% of all stars and are not visible to the naked eye at night (and wouldn't be even if you were in space on the dark side of the moon. they're too dim compared to the sun). When you add them in galaxies are much more dense with stars.
I implore you to read about why people actually end up on the street and to remember it is always better to be silent and thought a fool than to speak and remove all doubt

This is polished granite.
This is a frog eyeball.
Don't know if jab at me or not?
Hmm...
Kidding. Beautiful.

Omelette aux grenouille.
Dessine-moi un mouton?
This looks a lot like a sky shot of a dense city at night.
New cyberpunk world-building technique just dropped
The Milky Way galaxy is estimated to have 400 billion stars.
Elon Musk would have enough money to give at least 2$ to each star system in the galaxy.
Fuck Elon Musk.

"The" galaxy? Andromeda?

Those yellow things are all stars? I thought they are more sparse

We could all be dust mites on the bath mat of some colossal being, and one day we’ll be flushed out in their washing machine
It really tied the universe together until some Chinaman peed on it.
He peed on your galaxy?
Pretty sure that's just an old linoleum tile or faux granite counter with reflections of the overhead light rather than a rug.
It’s all turtle puke
I'll say it's more like a bus seat.
Might want to hoover that up.

Counter argument: the streets are full of homeless people doing exactly that. Look before you leap
Homeless people are tying the universe together?
We should really be paying them for that.
And housing them, of course.
Counter-argument is to the outer post, not to the inner one.
kneejerk circlejerk contextless reaction.
You're not wrong, but you are acting like an automaton.

really? what do you think happen to people that quit their jobs without preparation on impulse when their savings run out?
Follow up : do you think telling people to be careful when making huge decisions like that is a bad thing to do?
Telling people to be careful =/= making a big generalization about how people end up homeless in a way that puts the blame on them
My point stands, it would be wise to read about why people actually end up on the street before making that judgement for them
And for the record whenever I impulsively quit a job with no backup i just would go find another job and do gig work in between...
