Investment in economies/infrastructure, cars (gasoline-to-electric exchange programs?), free airline rewards, (renewable) energy factories/home systems, water desalination factories and pipelines, (global) mental health services (partially involving AI?), financial aid to college, creating (community) colleges, job training and a job at a company they/someone they know (used to) own, investment in victim’s businesses, investment in problems (money, resources, land, or otherwise) that victims really cherish, and all sorts of services that will benefit the victims. My post here describes ways they can pay as reparations in bettering poor states that they could take part in too. Some ideas to better poorer nation-states - by Amy Yang (substack.com)

All these things given by the perpetrators can only accumulate to a certain total value representative of the reparation amount. These reparations have to feed into the global economy without economic deadweight loss to keep the world sustainable. It’s a lot of money after all depending on who the perpetrator is. There has to be a smart way to handle all this. Smart reparations!

These reparations feeds into the future of the victims if they're the self-sustainable type, and one can even argue that the total reparations amount does not have to be overly high because self-sustainable gifts provide more value than was initially offered in the first place. Also, it supports the economy. Can you imagine if a company went bankrupt because they had a case against them and hundreds of people in that company lost their jobs? Those people were affected as a result and could probably have their lives ruined, causing the victim complications in winning their case sometimes (if it ever gets brought up).

A friend suggested that maybe there can be businesses/bureaucracies that provide reparation services/options to build the lives of the victims in a sustainable way while providing perpetrators cheaper options of reparations as long as the perpetrator pays the reparations businesses/bureaucracies a justifiable reparation amount to invest in the victims' lives self-sustainably.

Sometimes, the situation is too damn complicated and fractured to simply put a simple solution to it based on our current justice system. We’re all basically held hostage by it, both victim and perpetrator! Sometimes, to get things done, one has to play the game of compromise to get anything done at all.

You guys may have some good ideas too. The algorithm that manages the Kidney Paired Donation service was the inspiration for this post. Sometimes, an altruistic donor can get a huge chain of kidney exchanges going if they were to offer a healthy kidney for free -- a concept which can help future reparations in the world as well. There may be other algorithmic systems of handling reparations too. I'm sure computer/mathematical/economic algorithm creators could work with a policy analyst to figure out different configurations with reparations as well (or other policy topics as well).
