If You Had Infinite Amounts of Time & Money, What Would You Do?

Hmm, surprised this one bypassed me. It's my kinda thing. Okay.

Eliminating hunger and poverty is certainly possible, but the biggest obstacle is often government corruption. That's why Operation Restore Hope in 1993 was unsuccessful... the warlords running Somalia wanted the people to starve, and were willing to kill to keep them starving.

Creating an ethical army to go in and clean up the warlords for a starter. Including Putin. Then build windmills that can draw clean water out of the air, and put them all over Africa, India, SE Asia and Australia. Any desert space really.

My son has a kidney condition. Tons into research for growing them from their own stem cells. Indeed any organ. We're nearly there.

Travel, lots of travel.

A huge library. And libraries everywhere.

A barrier around Palestine, and move the settlers out. Don't like it? Bite me.

There's more. Let me think about it. There's lots.

ETA1: Oh! Blocks of units/apartments just for abused women, to live in safety. Maybe a security guard as well. One in every town and city. It's a real problem in Australia, and they need serious help. And in that vein, education for abusers, and batter them about the head with it until they understand what kind of animals they are.

Update;
Forgot one thing…
Completely rebuild a 747 in its original configuration, to fly at my Beck and Call…
It was a Dream never realized…

OMG the original look of the 747 is so spacious and roomy. I love it

I know…now I just need the money and time…
Is there, like, a form I need to fill out, or something?
I checked the F.A.Q. Section, but no dice…

To be honest, I think I would end up the same. I'd give all the money to my sister and say "hey you deal with this" and I think I'd be just as bad with time management.

I mean the 747 or even a used A380 the ultimate mobile home, just think of the possibilities

I did get to fly a (almost) new Airbus 380 on Emirates out of Muscat in 2009. (They took delivery in 2008)
Yes, they had a bar…for the Infidels…

Yes but just imagine that setup as a mobile home or evil lair.. Oops my plan just leaked

Infinite money?
Fund fusion research—and see which happens first, a successful reactor or me running out of money.

I'm betting on the latter.

I'd rebuilt the airship Hindenburg using modern materials and helium instead of hydrogen and set out on a round the world cruise.
