2.    If he drops a thousand dollars, he won't even bother to pick up,

If we're being technical.. if he dropped $1k and would actually earn $1k
in the time it took him to pick it up, it would still behoove him to
pick it up, as his net gain for those 4 seconds would be zero otherwise,
unless he was engaged in some activity that was effectively doubling his
earning capacity and by stopping that activity he would revert to his
original earnings capacity.

Like you said, who the hell wouldn't pick up a thousand bucks if they
dropped it?
