Imagine me, being the 100% owner of McDonalds.

It would be fantastic. I'd be rich enough to never have to work, I can have an infinite supply of Sausage McMuffins with Eggs, and I can walk around drinking McD orange juice while giving random orders over the phone.

McDonalds best company in the world.

Pfft. Wendy’s any day of the week. Far better burgers, and they have loaded fries.


They've got nothing on the Sausage McMuffin with Egg, Fillet-O-Fish, and the Bic Mac.

Also, McDonalds is far more creative with their seasonal specials.

There is an inactive camp near where we lived. It is in the Adirondacks, abuts a state park, and runs along a stream between two small lakes. It is in ruins but still has water and septic facilities, tennis courts, basketball, archery, and many sturdy foundations on which to build.

There is a pebbly beach

Fishing is good/

I would bring at least some of it to life, and share it with local kids.

The asking price is 3 million dollars.

(I think there are 450 acres)

The most expensive apartment building in New York City (or I suppose London or Paris or something might be acceptable). I can live off rents and whatnot, or if I get sick of it, sell the building and live off the fortune I'll acquire as a result (probably including buying less expensive properties that I might want :p ).

A pub in a decent location for amount of custom.

In fact, there's that pub right by parliament in london that MPs frequent. That one. I'd rename it to the spoiled ballot. Because the current owner has no sense of style or humor.

There is an out of control trolley speeding towards Jeremy Bentham, who is tied to the track. You can pull the lever to cause the trolley to switch tracks, but on the other track is Immanuel Kant. Bentham is clutching the only copy in the universe of The Critique of Pure Reason. Kant is clutching the only copy in the universe of The Principles of Moral Legislation. Both men are shouting at you that they have recently started to reconsider their ethical stances.

The West won the world not by the superiority of its ideas or values or religion … but rather by its superiority in applying organized violence. Westerners often forget this fact; non-Westerners never do.

Probably some combination of Fallingwater, the Farnsworth House and the Stahl House, except somewhere on a Norwegian Fjord or the Pacific coast somewhere between Seattle and Vancouver?

Though I'd want a copy of it on one of the outlying islands of Hong Kong or the far side of Penang too, for if I don't feel like shitty weather.

A mansion in Wiltshire maybe. Saying that, a relatively large property between Imola, Venice and Milan somewhere would be nice. Perhaps Solvenia- but I can't pronounce brg dyrhk, so I would have to give people my address in writing...
Let's go for a large property somewhere near Marghera then. On the other hand, maybe somewhere between to Rome/ Pompeii? Saying that, Pompeii's near Napoli, and I that looks like a third world country. Not there then. I know Catalonia quite well though, and I like Catalonia. And I speak Spanish, which helps. Abu Dhabi's nice as well. And shopping's easier than Spain in Italy or the UAE. I also prefer the food in the UAE or Italy.

In summary, I would like:
-A large mansion near the Emerald River in Slovenia
-A large house in Catalonia, between Barcelona and Girona
-The Emirates Palace Hotel, Abu Dhabi
-A super-car and a private jet for transport between the aforementioned properties and Italy

In return for the long list, I give the genie permission to destroy Orlando and the surrounding area.

It is roughly $50,000 a year for 60 years plus $1 million to serve as a buffer against inflation as one lump sum. I know Russia is rich enough, gimme gimme gimme; I know they wouldn't regret it if I'm out of their hair afterwards.


Or they could just kill you... :p
What would things have been like if every security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive? Or if during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand? The Organs would quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin's thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt!

So, it has to be a private place of life?

Hmm, then some mansion in the middle of Siberia with good internet and a bottomless pit of money.
