Buffet has gone on the record as supporting Democrats and tax hikes for the rich - is this an attempt to smear him and paint him as both out of touch AND somehow responsible for the collapse?
- pyre 17y agoHow so? His inability to operate his cellphone is irrelevant. He asked the guy to send him a fax. The guy sent him a text message or email instead. Buffet looked for a fax, and found none so assumed that the guy had given up. How exactly does this make him 'out of touch?' He was playing to his strengths by asking for a fax instead of trying to use features of his phone that he didn't understand. It's not his fault that the guy on the other end of the line said, "Fax!? That's too old-fashioned! I'll send him an email/text instead!" As others have stated, if he was really that interested in the deal he would have called the guy back and asked why he hadn't received a fax.
