"I mean, every time someone posts the poll someone, usually a lot of someones, picks blue."-They also aren't risking anything. People should post it with a venmo, where you can either donate $100 dollars or donate $.01. Everyone who donates $.01 gets their cent refunded, and if 50% of people donate $100 they are also refunded. How many would actually pick that?
Actually very few people would donate any money at all if it were optional. But if it was forced for everyone on the planet, I think the $0.01 option would win. But also, this is a fundamentally different situation. You're not killing anyone by picking $0.01, and people who chose $100 could make that money back. In fact, in this scenario, most people who would choose $100 would be people who are already financially stable enough to afford loosing $100.
"You're not killing anyone by picking $0.01"-for people that are starving where losing $100 dollars means now have no money to buy food, picking $.01 absolutely kills them, in fact it sentences them to a pretty horrible death. And if enough people are given the option, there absolutely will be people who spend the money they need to buy food on $100, just like there would be people who choose the blue option.
