He loves to blast the system for which he profits from greatly. That seems to be name of the game today...
- ixvvqktiwl 6y agoWhile I'm not necessarily defending Buffett, he (like everyone else) is playing by the rules. The problem isn't the people playing the game, it's the system itself and the rules of the game.
- syshum 6y agoYea I have never bought in to whole "Dont blame the player blame the game" mantra. If you find something unethical, even if it is legal, you are still an unethical ass if you exploit that legality for your own gain.
- scarface74 6y agoYou mean like people who post to HN? If you are a tech worker in the US, it’s more than likely your income is in the top quarter of household income. If you are on the west coast, you’re likely to be in top decile. https://dqydj.com/average-median-top-household-income-percentiles/ https://dqydj.com/average-median-top-household-income-percen...

- scarface74 6y agoThey spend all of their time focusing on the billionaires but they don’t see how the rest of the population sees them. How many are advocating increasing taxes of people making above 200K (putting them in the highest decile)? How many admits that they have benefited from equality between their chase to “work for a FAANG” or get rich from exit?
