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 donβt 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.

Twenty Years of Medical Growth: Transforming Knowledge Into Better Care
Over the last two decades, healthcare professionals have reshaped clinical environments through dedication, reflection, and purposeful growth. In the early years of practice, many clinicians focused primarily on mastering technical competencies and understanding disease processes. However, as experience accumulated, they realized that medicine demands far more than memorized protocols. By engaging with evidence-based medicine, providers strengthened their ability to evaluate research and apply its findings responsibly and critically. Consequently, patient care evolved into a dynamic blend of science, judgment, and compassion.

There's A Hole in My Bucket
Itβs a well-known fact that Liza Dufresne was always the brains in the family. She was the one who always came up with the brilliant schemes the Dufresne kids carried out when they were younger. Like when they tricked Mrs. Claybourn into paying for a trip to Disney World. Liza convinced her that their parents had been kidnapped and were being held for ransom for the total price of three tickets. In reality, they were away on a weekend getaway for their anniversary. When they returned, Liza told the Claybourns that they did not like to talk about the ordeal. Their parents never found out how they got the money. Mrs. Claybourn never found out that the Dufresne parents were never really in any danger.

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 π€. You have a good heart Mike β€οΈ π π
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!
