    FFS. If time travel was a thing, buyingNetflix, Amazon or Apple shares in 2002 would see you retired on an island beach this year. Depending on the sum invested, the beach could even be on your own island.

          if you’re going to indulge in a fantasy at least make it fun. go to the far future where we have luxury space communism and everyone gets to have as many dicks as they want and live rent free in their own private space station. way less work and you can live secure in the knowledge that everyone has it just as good as you do, so no one will come and try to steal it.

        St James? That place disappeared in an accidental nuclear explosion caused by a rogue stealth bomber crash landing there with an armed nuke. They said it was a tragedy, something like 20 world leaders and several billionaires where there for some kind of conference.

      Some people would try to change the world for the better if given a time machine.

      You would only make yourself wealthy.

      Do you even realise how egocentric you are?

      Please try to develop some empathy.

      We don’t need more hollow soulless people like Elon Musk.

      Be better.
