Ah, you’re falling for the mistaken assumption that time travel will be controlled by competent people or regulated by reasonable governments. In reality, time travel will be invented by a small group of physics nerds who sell their ideas to a South African mining heir who proclaims himself smarter than everyone else for buying other people’s inventions. He will then charges $3.50 for “verified travelers” to skirt the temporal rules and safety guidelines. This will result in all sorts of crazy shit like a series of pretend cowboys and a failed real estate magnate rising to the office of POTUS, fast food restaurants developing social media accounts and doing battle with political leaders, and corporations being granted personhood. I know…it sounds crazy!
