Would you rather be a billionaire in 1917 or making 100k a year in 2017?:

Ya'll dudes are hilarious.

Maybe some yal just too used to the struggle and a limited financial perspective

[/QUOTE]

Yep. us and like 80% of the country. If a 100k ain't shyt to you then you're doing something wrong.

I guess in San Francisco and in Manhattan

I guess those are the only places you can live on this planet

You want to talk about making the most of your money but at the same time dismiss the impact of a billion dollars before the stock market crash

Sure. Go to Costa Rica and do it big like granddad from the boondocks

 

[Easy-E]

You know how much a billy from 1917 would be worth now.

A billion in 1917 would make me a God King. Especially knowing the information now. I could literally rule the world. Nothing would be the same.

You'd be assassinated with a musket pistol with all that power.

i'm black... ain't no way in fukking hell i would ever go back in history.. especially not to no damn 1917


i don't care what country it is... hell fukking nah

 

[Adidacs]

billion and make that jump

die in the 90s with an empire and family network to keep the world honest and on a path of progress

legacy is all you have to leave here

the billionaires of early 1900s were evil fukks and their shyt still stinks today

Modern technology is a pretty big deal. There's nothing about 1917 that I trust. All the money in the world won't save you from a spontaneous electrical fire because your dumbass relative had the toaster plugged in too long. Trust engineering and safety standards from 100 years ago brehs. The titanic sank, it's sister ship also sank. Can you even name 2 ships that sank since you been born? brb just got dysentery from a random orange i ate and there's no cure developed yet brehs. brb developing random lung cancer because the smog is too bad brehs.

I'm sure that place looked nice I'm also sure it's been perpetually fixed up since it was made.

What you didn't know about the Titanic. I'm back on my tin foil shyt. The 9/11 of 1912.

Calculate the value of $1,000,000 in 1917

"$1,000,000.00 in 1917 had the same buying power as $20,813,103.45 in 2017"

:aiwait:

So basically you scared

I can't believe how scary yall mfs are. It's disgusting

Just an observation. But, ya'll underestimating the ways power is balanced in this world

 

[Cabbage Patch]

Be a nikka in 1917

It's like no one watched Hancock. Nikka was black Superman and still got lynched.

Time travel what ifs are not for nikkas.

You can die tomorrow getting clapped in a movie theater and you might make the news.

Be a billionaire and merely talk shyt then one of the greatest minds in theater will go on to make the most important movie of all time in Citizen Kane nevermind the very real media empire you run that literally influenced elections across the globe

but fukk all that. internet. gotta put work in these comments sections

after a certain point its not money anymore. it IS power.

Yall really a disgrace to the ancestors.

Smh at folks scoffing 100k.

• 100k can get you into a top tier apartment or even a good townhouse.
• 100k can help ease the bills off of your place along with having extra to splurge.
• 100k can put clothing on your back, food on the table, and gas in your Kia Soul
• 100k is ENOUGH

People kill me with the idea that being in billionaire will ease the problem, when in reality it will bring more and thensome. Folks forgetting how critical it was in the 1910s. If it's not the local officials fukking with you, it will be the government. Higher ups will put them charges on you just because you are a black man with more money than God. Why folks trashing the overall consensus in this thread due to folks wanting just enough and not the world?

Maybe money isn't everything for folks. Maybe dudes who haven't got a pot to piss in would finally piss in a grade A toilet seat. Maybe people don't want to have such a lavish lifestyle, but just have the funds to finally experience the middle class lifestyle that seems like a pipedream nowadays.

Then again it's never about the money with me, but more of having a income to experience a quiet life without knuckle dragging like a struggling savage.

That's just me tho

 

[Wardo]

Ill take the billion. The ability to be a real life super villain...
Wont be no racism everyone has to worry what im gonna do.
Im buying America straight up

 

[Armchair Militant]

I wouldn't even want to be white in 1917.

I don't even know what I'd buy.
