If you have already done everything you wanted to do, what's the big deal about losing a couple of years? But, if you are just getting started, then it is not fair to get the same money.

Anyway...


I absolutely agree here. That is why you don't just drop $100 billion in cash in a poor country. Instead, you build capital improvements. Build a highway system. Build water treatment plants. Build a rail system. Build a library system. Build a communications network.

You build things everyone can use and no one can monopolize.
Thats what I was talking about originally but I guess I didnt make myself clear enough. Improve the overall way of life of an entire nation, if you could trade your life in 5 years for that kind of power, would you?
