If I were a rich man...

I'd see my wife, my Golde, looking like a rich man's wife
With a proper double-chin.
Supervising meals to her heart's delight.
I see her putting on airs and strutting like a peacock.
Oy, what a happy mood she's in.
Screaming at the servants, day and night.

The most important men in town would come to fawn on me!
They would ask me to advise them,
Like a Solomon the Wise.
"If you please, Reb Tevye..."
"Pardon me, Reb Tevye..."
Posing problems that would cross a rabbi's eyes!
And it won't make one bit of difference if i answer right or wrong.
When you're rich, they think you really know!

If I were rich, I'd have the time that I lack
To sit in the synagogue and pray.
And maybe have a seat by the Eastern wall.
And I'd discuss the holy books with the learned men, several hours every day.
That would be the sweetest thing of all.

Use this new wealth to mobilise a new mass socialist movement and establish a free socialist utopia in Antarctica or something.

Like Rapture but not in the future and socialist.

The most fundamental problem of politics is not the control of wickedness but the limitation of righteousness.

Buy a small but nice apartment in a city. Fund research for drug resistant bacteria and cancer. Keep working cause I love my job. Set aside enough so that I do not need to worry about the future. Look into trying to get support to improve the US infrastructure. Look into research on how to better distribute food (as in actual suply stuff).

Start a shirt company. I would sell shirts of metal bands I like and my art work.

My main factbook
The cover of the album "Black Metal" by English heavy metal band Venom. The metal genre of Venom is debatable so I will just leave it at heavy metal.

I think you just figured out the plot of Bioshock 4. (Also, Rapture was in the 1960's)

I'd buy a shit ton of cocaine and hookers and mine bitcoin to further feed my cocaine and hooker habits.

Then invest in stocks and buy a modest house in the country once I get over my hooker and cocaine bender, and donate large sums of money to charity and science, because sure, it's fun to be filthy rich and have coke and hookers, but being a wealthy philanthropist who lives according to their own needs and helps others is way more based.

Abolitionism in the North has leagued itself with Radical Democracy, and so the Slave Power was forced to ally itself with the Money Power; that is the great fact of the age.
