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.

US-Iran Nuclear Talks in Geneva: Progress, Red Lines, and Rising Military Tensions
On Tuesday (17 February), following the second round of negotiations between the United States and Iran in Geneva, both Washington and Tehran expressed concerns as well as some encouraging statements. After the meeting, U.S. Vice President J.D. Vance said that diplomatic talks between the United States and Iran had gone well “in some respects,” and that both sides had agreed to hold another meeting. Meanwhile, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi stated that “an understanding on fundamental principles” had been reached with the United States. Vance also said that Iran is still not prepared to accept certain “red lines” defined by President Trump. He indicated that the United States would continue on the diplomatic path, but that President Trump would ultimately decide “when to abandon diplomacy.” He added that Washington does not expect matters to reach that point, “but if they do, the decision will be President Trump’s.” On the other hand, Araghchi described the second round of talks as more positive than the first. He said that both sides would prepare two draft versions of a possible agreement document and exchange them. “However, this does not mean we will reach an agreement soon, but we have certainly started moving along the path toward one.” Araghchi further said that there are still some issues requiring additional work. Meanwhile, Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian stated that his country is ready to allow “verification” that Iran is not seeking to develop nuclear weapons. In remarks published on the presidential website, Pezeshkian said: “We are absolutely not trying to acquire nuclear weapons, and if anyone wants to verify this, we are ready to take the necessary steps.” The Iranian president added that Tehran will never abandon its “peaceful” nuclear program.

Teleportation is always the superpower I say I would want. I really understand the desire here. Thank you for participating in my challenge!
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!
