Rich? Me?
For Kay Husnick's "What would you do if you were rich?" Challenge
Introduction
This is for Kay Husnick's challenge that you can check out here:
The music is "The Millionaire" by Dr. Hook And The Medicine Show, and I will message friends with this if I ever come into a fortune.
Rich? Me?
One of the things that I think is missing from our phones is a teleport button. While I love taking bus and train journeys, I only enjoy driving on empty roads, and I can't fly a plane, but I would love to be able to teleport and have a coffee with my friends I have made around the world.
Failing that if money became irrelevant and I did not have to work, I would be taking a plane to Japan, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, and the USA once a certain group are behind bars (and I don't mean to serve drinks).
While I would help people out, I agree with Henning Wehn on Charity, so I would happily pay taxes. I do not believe billionaires should be allowed to exist
Most people don’t realise how significant the difference is between millionaires and billionaires. To put it in perspective, a million seconds is 11.5 days, while a billion is 31.7 years. Someone pointed out that the difference between a million and a billion is roughly a billion.
Billionaires never earn that money, and they will never spend it, so it should be redistributed.
If I became a billionaire, I would give most of it away to trustworthy organisations, maybe build libraries, schools, and hospitals, and fund education and health.
I would always be there for friends and family, and would do what I could to make as much of the world poverty-free, hunger-free and disease-free.
That would hopefully help to end conflict throughout the world.
Conclusion
This got a bit bigger than I expected, but if I could fly and have coffee with a friend over the water, that would be an amazing start.
Thank you for reading.

Valentine's Dates Over the Years
Colin grinned as Brooklyn slipped into the living room. “Is it all set?” he asked. The twenty-one year old grinned. She was in her last year of college and Colin knew that Lincoln was proud of her. Although she had been away at college, she’d eagerly helped Colin plan his surprise for Lincoln. “I’m so glad you’re finally doing this,” she said.

What Happens To Your Brain When You Stop Multitasking
Digital technology is the culprit that is causing us to doom scroll when tired, disengaged and unmotivated with the content that motivated you to log onto your device to consume in the first place. That is only the beginning. In the modern workplace (and even when filing cabinets were around, I confirmed this with my adopted parents to get my facts right); reading files while you are supposed to be present to the caller on the other end of the phone line is another classic example of multitasking that causes your brain (although adaptable and intelligent) to lose focus and concentration.

That was fast, great story. Hope you win. Right, did the Billionaires earn the money they received, someone beneath them did all the hardwork. Maybe its an investment and interest 🤔. You have a good heart Mike ❤️ 💙 💜
Teleportation does seem to be a way to go, and it would cut down on so much pollution for earth conscious people. Great job in sharing.
I like the idea of teleporting. We'd save a lot on transport! Jokes aside, good thoughts, Mike.
Hahahahahaha not behind bars to serve drinks. That's a good one! And wowww, 11.5 days and 31.7 years! That's a hugeeeee difference!
