Yes, I absolutely grant the average billionaire would be, I suspect, rather isolated from the financial storms average folks have to weather daily (in BERK- B shares I trust)



I do not like that line either. However, there is no money for campaign promises. There is financial chaos and government debt. Promises are one thing, reality another. I'll wait and see where we end up.
Actually I was listening to a very wealthy man talk about it sometime ago and have never forgot it.

Do you really think that the influence of the mega rich started in 2000?

So you voted for a guy who made promises that are in your view are unlikely to actually happen?
