A friend was bemoaning (justly) we haven't been dreaming and imagining for a while. I think we've all been kinda head down surviving the winter and *waves hand at everything*

But it's spring now, and time for hope to come back to life at least.

Thusly I present a new tag:
#ifIHadABillionDollars

What would you do with a billion dollars? What would you build, create, solve, cultivate...?

[social cue: this is not the place to rant politics, we've got the rest of the Internet for that]

How much does a baby tree cost? $10?
#ifIHadABillionDollars I would plant 100 million trees.
A lot of them around parking lots so they're not so gross n hot and barren in the summer.

...ooo and while we've got shady parking lots, how about cool-off meet ups where we gather in parking spots under trees with lawn chairs and a kiddie pool for our hot feetsies. Have a chill out and chat.

@LappenjammerDieZweite hahaha I think you spotted the secret desire of my heart.
The cars could park there too sometimes. We could share.

@vlrny 1 billion would also get you some way in public transport (free for all is one of my favourite dreams).
