MODERATORS
People have fridges and cell phones, big tvs and nicer cars, yes.
But they don't have education, healthcare, or housing. Things that were far more accessible 50 years ago.
My dad was a janitor and my mom was a housewife. They had 7 kids. We grew up in a five bedroom house (which they paid off when I was youngish). I have a baschelors of science and a masters degree and barely can afford a 2 bedroom condo and yes im doing very well compared to my friends. Oh he also got paid time and a half for working off hours (even if he had taken a day off during that week) and on weekends except sundays and holidays when it was DOUBLE TIME!
People used to be able to buy a house and raise a family of four on the income from a single boring factory job.
Go back to hell, Charlie Munger.
Because if you don't, you starve.
I think what he means is that everyone he knows is better off than they used to be, and all this chatter by the nameless riffraff of poors is irritating to him...
What a dick.
This mother fucker IS turtley enough for the Turtle Club. Jesus. This old bastard looks like someone microwaved Warren Buffett and left him out in the sun for a decade. He's 98 years old and made his money literally NOT DOING ANYTHING. Shut the fuck up, you ugly rotten potato with a ball sack neck.
Just what I'd expect to hear from the designer of Munger Hall, the most dystopian dorm yet!
4500 students housed in one building and 94% of them would not even have a window to look out of...and he seems to think it will be like "being on a cruise ship"
That should end well
Ahhh, I've seen this video. The design is an fucking nightmare.
Sadistic architecture?
A more literal Brutalism.
Eat the rich.
You stop complaining
No u
How about your old ass puts his other foot in the grave?
Iβm recruiting mods, check pinned post for more info!
This is obviously AI-generated. The uncanny valley eyes give it away. The tech is getting pretty close, though!
I'm pretty sure his glasses are just that strong. That's refraction.
I was just trying to call him creepy-looking and possibly inhuman in a nicer way.
Ah, I see it now!
Every time I see a picture of this guy... I just get bond villain vibes...
