I like how the Russian empire sold Alaska to the USA because they thought it was not profitable anymore only for Alaska to become really profitable and the government of the USA learning that Alaska was actually profitable as well as causing the American people who criticized the purchase of Alaska suddenly changing their minds on the purchase of Alaska by the government of the USA.🤣😂😅

Consider that the United States has already wasted over $100 billion on the Senate Launch System and continues to pour money into it when SpaceX solution is between 1/100th and 1/1000th the cost. The war in Iraq cost a trillion but there was never any weapons of mass destruction!!

SNCF French Railways mistake was not about the rails but about the some stations platforms. The trains wouldn't fit to the stations and stations' platforms had to be modified
@CommonSense9elevenHaha, almost the exact same thing happened to my best friend with his hard drive that had bitcoin on it. Although he had a lot less coins and he didn’t bother trying to dig through the landfill for it. Still, if he hadn’t lost it he could have made tens of millions.
@itwasaliensBitcoins, 1,000,000 x 0 = 0, worthless even to this day, monopoly money is worth more...
@StrikerZero6Doyle Brunson and the donkey known as Daniel Negreanu both turned down $150-200M for their online poker rooms; They thought it was worth more. The problem was when the feds shut down online poker about a decade ago. Both ended up with nothing from their endeavors instead.

@whitezombie10Russia didn't really make a mistake with Alaska, they knew Britain was going to invade from Canada and take it and there was no way they could stop them. So they sold it to the US, who eventually ended up paying a billion dollars in reparations to the natives.

@MakkaPakkaaFMSpeaking of "typos", autocorrect got me laid one time. I texted a girl saying "hey wanna hang?" Which was auto corrected to "hey wanna bang?" Needless to say she appreciated my forwardness and said she saw me as confident. When in reality I beat around the bush alot as well as hint towards things.

@FrawriestMy most expensive mistake? Marriage
@beezlebub7847I know there are a lot of people joking on here saying that kids are an expensive mistake, but it's not true. Yes it does take money to raise kids, but guess what? It took money to raise all the people who are now adults too. If you had a kid that is a "mistake," then it's probably time for you to look in the mirror and do some self reflection. The kid is not the mistake. It's your life choices.
