Wake up in 1929

Not at all because something like less than 5% of American families owned stock at the time of the crash IIRC

A greater percentage of American families owned slaves in 1861 than families owned stock in 1929.

This says the number was even lower than I cited, although it might be counting just individuals as opposed to families
"Percentage of Americans who owned stock at time of 1929 Crash: less than 1%"

By the market crash? Not at all since I don't own any 1920's stocks. Generally? pretty much completely fucked, everything I know won't happen for 60+ years.

not fucked at all considering i can use my knowledge of the past to amass a huge fortune

None. I have nothing to lose. Get a dumb job in the distillery industry and save up every penny. Play sport books, use my knowledge of then-future events to sucker people at the bar using prop bets that haven't been invented yet. Use my gains to buy a distillery and start hoarding up distribution rights to major (defunct by prohibition) brands in preparation for FDR's election and the end of prohibition. It's how Joe Kennedy got rich, and it's how I'll get rich too. All these depressed broke ass fuckers NEED their liquor.

Become a communist and blame everyone else

Dude! I'm still trying to figure out how to fix Spain! Chill with these threads for a little bit!

>Moon landing
>without nuclear weapons

user, what do you think the space race was about? Really about?

I'm Spanish, so I'm already fuck.

A lot, because trade with USA. A lot of trade...

Oh boy. 2 years of aerospace engineering don't fail me now.

Invent the integrated curcuit.

Not really.
I get a comfy job at a university because I elucidate DNA as information storage over proteins. I also pioneer Xray crystallography, NMR, maybe restriction digestion so we can really make designer babies and eugenics a thing.

Not at all because I just randomly woke up in a different time period with nothing.

Right, I forgot the stock market crash caused the dustbowl

The Crash on Wall Street did NOT cause the Great Depression you dummy.

I crash every day
