Anybody who thinks Planned Parenthood is doing a “lot of good things” is nearly evil incarnate. An old, self-obsessed coot who believes in inheritance taxes and hates the unborn. Can you think of a more Dickensian villain?
No wonder he’s such a strong supporter of it and the liberal politicians who keep it in place.
Globalist Buffet is buying American infrastructure and leaving the government-insured lenders to others.
Only “nearly”?

The spelling of Marmon is very close to ‘Mammon’ ... Coincidence?

Seems right to me...

I actually read his autobiography and was struck by his total disconnection at a personal level. He basically pored over investment data before noting his wife had left him. This only occurred to him after he ran out of his favorite drink and noticed that his wife had hired a personal maid to come in to take care of him as a parting gesture. Top that off with that he doesn’t believe in helping his family, but willing hands over billions of dollars of Berkshire stock to the nonprofit Gates foundation (which nicely shelters his wealth from taxes), and it is obvious that the guy owns the world but really is completely broke when it comes to people who care about him. How he has become some sort of warped folk hero is quite amazing considering the outcome of his life (disregarding his obvious financial success). His obsession with killing babies further paints him out as a very cold human being.

>>>>Rumours he was poised to invest in the troubled investment bank Bear Stearns, then in the mortgage lender Countrywide Financial, turned out to be false. Since then Citigroup, Morgan Stanley, UBS and Merrill Lynch have all gone out in search of rescue capital and have all struck deals with Middle Eastern or Asian sovereign wealth funds.
Funny how I don’t see Goldman Sachs on that list

If he were Ebeneezer Scrooge, Tiny Tim would have been snuffed out via a free abortion.
Totally agree, somehow Buffet took his mid-western roots and completely morphed into an uber-social liberal. He couldn’t wax poetically enough about the great Katherine Graham of the Washington Post when he bailed them out back in the 80’s. He seemed to buy into the zero population elitist argument of removing the peons from Earth so the upper class could better enjoy their ski vacations. While I greatly admire his financial acumen, I give him poor grades as far as what he could have done when it came to real human beings in his life. Why does a guy like him not see the abortion industry as the evil that it is? Quite perplexing, I wish he had went the other way as he just fuels the elitists to continue their social eugenics experiment.
Among living titans of industry, only George Soros springs to mind as a possible rival.
Maybe they can share the same oven in Hell for all eternity.

Buffett, Schmuffett, I’m tired of hearing about this senile old leftist fart. He’s just another nanny fascist Dhim.
Move on to the real market.
