Your argument boils down to righteous dignity. You presume that it's below another person's dignity to live in, gasp, 500sqft. This is obviously nonsense. I've lived in less. It is important to understand that scaling down sq

Sure, but post-WWII the federal government injected billions (in 2020 dollars) into the pockets of mostly white veterans to build millions of homes. The federal government also provided generous home loans and unemployment insurance. Today,

Buffett & Munger agree with you. (paraphrasing here) Munger cited Costco as an incredibly important, effective, and efficient institution that couldn't be replaced by a non-profit or government. It has lowered the costs of essentia

Thank you for pointing this out, I thought BRK.B had no voting rights. I looked it up and learned that BRK.A shares have 6.66 the voting power of the equivalent dollar amount of BRK.B shares. Specifically, each BRK.A share is 1,500x the eco
