I would absolutely edit my timeline at several key points that would deanonymize me further if I pointed them out. But I do wish certain specific and immutable things could be different.

Seventies baby here. We worried a lot about nuclear war, but the threat of nuclear war is probably greater now than it was then. It just doesn't crack the top ten anymore. That's how incredibly fucked everything is.
It is higher now than ever according to experts, but our government and our corporate media prefer not to prioritize the issue.

Eh, I'm about the same age as OP, I don't have to get to 50 to know that I'd take my parents' economic context over the two crashes. The rest... For many reasons, if medicine does some miraculous leap forward by then, maybe I'll still wish I got a lot more left to go by then.

No, because no human deserves that power.
I would change to being born AFAB and in a country where theres good healthcare (like Germany or Denmark)
