Slap the shite out of everyone who 1) thought it was a good idea to get off of the gold standard and 2) thought it was a good idea to pull money out of social security for pet projects that have nothing to do with SS

Change LSU vs Bama 2011 championship game… huge loss on the frontier.

Ripple Effect. The firing of Les isn’t as justifiable with another ring. Joe Burrow may never come to fruition.

Looking back, it's amazing how much one man's pride and incompetence potentially cost an organization.

Princip didn’t start ww1. That was going to happen one way or another. Election of 1912 is the right answer. Convincing Taft to sit it out would be my singular focus. He didn’t like being president anyway. Wanted to be a judge

It wouldn’t have changed a thing.

Europe was a tangled web of alliances and something would have eventually started WW1

You could avoid the assiantion without killing a baby, it was such a freak chance occurrence than the Archdukes vehicle stopped exactly where the assassin was.

The murder of John Lennon. Not going to alter the flow of history, but would save a talented guy who had become a nice person.

Stop 911.. That event has actually caused us to lose some of our freedoms. And our response and what it was used to justify doing turned into a shitshow long term.
