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

I can't see any major advantages other then modern technology by comparison to a billionaire back then....if you think you're living more comfortable today...then John D Rockefeller, JP Morgan and Andrew Carnegie did back then....then I don't know what else to tell you....you've pretty much convinced yourself that anything is possible at that point.


I grew up in Philly...about a mile from me was the Widener Estate just over in the burbs....I believed he owned PECO back then but died on the Titanic back in 1912....anyway....even til this day I have NEVER seen the opulence of something of that magnitude in person....he had everything you could imagine.
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.

Yall sound scared, Jack Johnson was heavyweight champion of the world in 1908, nobody lynched him or killed him, he was riding around like this

With a billion you could literally fund your own military.
Fail to put in the part where he was sentenced to prison shortly after that for getting too much p*ssy by jealous cacs and didn't return to the US until a decade later...I see you tho :ehh:

Why would you stay in America?

You would have enough money to turn Africa in a self sustaining economy and offer up financial security for those wanting to return home.

You would literally have enough money to change history. It might not work but you'd have a better chance at changing things than anyone else in history.

It's a big deal in regards to modern medicine...otherwise, I don't see a major difference. I mean by your argument....I can talk about you having a higher likely hood of catching AIDS or HIV...something that didn't exist in that form back then.

Like I said...if you think you have it better today than John D Rockefeller, JP Morgan or ANdrew Carnegie did ...then, there's really nothing to debate lol....you've pretty much convinced yourself of anything.:manny:
