If it was 2002 tomorrow, what would you do?

Question

MisterWack · Accepted Answer

- Boycott Iraq War, Afghanistan War, and US Response to Terrorism ig.

- Oh and actually afford a house with minimum wage that is boosted to match the rate of inflation (hasn’t been that way since July 2009) also without the housing market being a sh*tshow.

Speaking of when things were good,

- I would go to a doctor’s office through an appointment that wasn’t rescheduled and not be afraid of rising costs, giant corporate entities buying out all the medical practices,

- utilize a Windows Operating System that isn’t as invasive and as corrupt trying to syphon all your precious data,

- living in a world where people aren’t glued to their devices that are on them at all times (Apple),

- living in a world that is not so politically divided and at eachother’s throats as it is today.

- Buy physical media , which is slowly being killed off

- Google something without invasive pop up ads / ads all over the screen like it is when you go into any news article

- Watch TV at an affordable reasonable price

- Buy groceries at an affordable reasonable price

- Enjoy life (I enjoy life now with the hope things can get better, though sometimes I feel as though I’m a dog chasing its own tail)

One thing I can’t enjoy in 2002, steady pensions because those were killed off by Ronald Reagan in favor of 401ks…. 401ks suck by the way, look at comparison of pensions to 401ks and you’ll see how bad things are now. Reagan was the tip of the ice berg, just research how much damage he did.

Presupposing I took the Knowledge I have now back with me.

Take both my parents to hospital immediately and have my Mother checked for Kidney Cancer and my Father for Prostate Cancer.

Buy as many Tesla Shares as I could, and look for an off-shore Island to build a retreat on that could support my whole family.

MrJMM · Answer

It depends on the depends. Are you asking me what my past would do in that or my present do? Past - depends on what date and month and time because I was born that year. Present - Just do what I would normally do and work since you are the one time traveling, not me.

Don’t buy a house right away. Wait until 2003 when interest rates drop to their lowest point and not get an adjustable rate mortgage. Then buy Google and Apple stock and live off the dividends.
