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

1917 easy. As a history lover it would be too easy to manipulate things to create financial freedom with blacks.

Getting the drop on medicine and funding and buying the patents to Tesla's work. Early investments into communication, forming a monopoly in the radio and telephone world.

I would discover DNA myself, and do some other works in molecular biology.

Buy up some American banks during the depression. Buy a lot of companies during the depression, newspaper companies, buy up Ford and start a black car company.

Normal diseases don't touch people in those higher positions of money and power so that's not a worry.

nikka you will be a BILLIONAIRE, you will not even communicate with common people
Airborne diseases don't give a shyt. Good luck waking up one day just to find out you have polio:francis:. shyt would be just like Oregon trail. Take 3 steps contract some random illness. Hope you don't die. Game over

Best thing you could do is set up for the future. Gonna end up spending your billi to make a time machine to get back to 2017

Because the real wages of 1st world countries haven't went up since the 1970s.

Businesses are artificially keeping wages low even though productively is at an all time high. Minimum wage if was going according to the productively of workers and the cost of living...would be around 18 an hour at the min. I have seen minimum should be around 22 an hour. Basically capitalists are robbing us blind...more than ever before and blaming us for the reason why we are broke.

Elizabeth Warren: Minimum Wage Would Be $22 An Hour If It Had Kept Up With Productivity | HuffPost

100K is pennies in the modern era because of inflation. 100K is something you should wipe your ass with.

It's really nothing. 100K in 1917 would make you worth a little over 2 million dollars. 100K now...means you can buy 2 brand new cars and have a little left over depending on the cars you brought.


A million dollars ain't shyt either.

To be truly considered rich, you need at least 20 million according to Felix Dennis in How to Be Rich..and that motherfukker was worth around 400 million to 750 million.

He said if you was worth 3 million, you was just a comfortably poor...

Only thing I agree with is minimum wage should be higher

Honestly, as a negro I don't wanna live ANYWHERE with ANY amount of money before IDK. 1967. :manny:

You really think your BILLION dollars was gon matter when nikkas were BARELY citizens? Was it even legal for nikkas to even OWN patents?

No thanks, I'll take my 100k in this white supremacist, micro-aggression, millennial paradise known as the 2010's

Travel 3 months on a ship to Africa brehs

You do realise that this sweating over time results from not having money. When you have to worry about accommodation and getting back to work, 3 months is something to sweat over. When the world moves to your beat, it wouldn't be shyt.

Thread is a shameful display of the problems we have to deal with. A fantasy is just a fantasy but people are showing the limits of their aspirations in life. I wouldn't want the chance to change the world because of sneakers, cars and instagram models :stopitslime:.

The innate fear of Africa that would see people question survival in America without considering moving to and developing a place they can call their own.

shyt is shameful. All it is showing me is that white people wouldn't have much to fear in handing out financial reparation. Too many of us would be willing to put the money straight back into their hands, consuming their poison.

With a billion in 1917 you ARE the financial institution:dead:

Someone wants a loan, investment backing, funding for an invention, campaign support, etc they gotta come to you

Kill me if you want to but who's paying for the transportation of this state's medical supplies?:umad:

A black billionaire in 1917?

:jbhmm:

Let's say it was possible, you could create an empire and long lasting 'old' money.

Your future generations will eat forever. Especially if you invest in the the stuff that's going to global in years to come. :wow:
