Here, I&#x27;ll name a few things a rich person could do twenty years ago that a poor person today could not:<p>Visit the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World.<p>Visit the Seven Wonders of the Modern World.<p>Go to Cannes Film Festival.<p>Go to Pixar movie premiers.<p>Personal chef.<p>Personal masseuse.<p>Back-stage passes to go see amazing rock legends, many of whom have died by now.<p>Influence politics.<p>Invest in corporations, like SOLAR power, WIND power, NUCLEAR power.  Fund start-ups.<p>Help stabilize and transform former Soviet Block countries.<p>Fly a Mig.<p>Visit the Galapagos islands.<p>See a living White Rhino, up close.<p>Swim with dolphins.<p>Swim with green sea turtles off Maui.<p>Eat at Mama&#x27;s Fish House on Maui, one night, and stay overnight in Hana so you can wake up early and visit the seven sacred pools bright and early.<p>Walk the Great Wall of China.<p>Go to the Olympics.<p>Ride a hot air balloon.<p>So, let&#x27;s come back to what you said.. &quot;100x the value&quot;???  Come on.  Name TWO things a poor person can actually do today, that would make them tangibly HAPPY, or tangibly BETTER OFF that a rich person couldn&#x27;t do 20 years ago.<p>&gt; The conversation we are having right now likely could not have existed 30 years ago.<p>First, you&#x27;re moving the goal-posts, the discussion is 20 years ago.  And second, nonsense.  I was active on well over 100 BBS systems.
