The Man who made $32.2m a day in 2016 (the year of populism)

[Paul Markham]

Multi-billionaire Warren Buffett made $32.2m a day in 2016 (the year of populism) | The Independent

Multi-billionaire Warren Buffett made on average $32.2m (£26.3) every day in the year that populism triumphed in global politics.

The ?Wizard of Omaha? regained his spot as the world?s second-richest person two days after the US election result despite opposing Mr Trump throughout the campaign.

Critics are claiming this is yet more evidence that the 70-year-old property magnate?s presidency will not "drain the swamp".

People like him add little to the economy of the rest. But have too much influence on our lives. If he had been an industrial tycoon building products ibn the West. Imagine the jobs and prosperity we would all share.

That is American capitalism.

Mr. Buffett has stabilized many markets and industries with the good old fashion LONG TERM APPROACH and that is what has been missing in most of Wall Street and the cause of many of our woes.

I remember just over 10 years ago when California was having it's woes caused by the likes of ENRON and it was Mr Buffett's capital that helped them out of a near disaster by fast tracking other markets to supply that needed energy when others could not find the vast short term gain they were looking for as a investment.

I might say the same for the Railroad industry. And countless others. Job creator... not as much but for the long term retention of jobs here in this country with sound business basics, much more than most know apparently.

This county would have been at a loss without his clear thinking long term investment strategy's.

Disney cartoons are made up stories and not real life. Just because he is rich doesn't mean Warren Buffett spends all day swimming in his money like Scrooge McDuck

The guy only employs about 300k people. I'd say he adds a 'little' to the economy.

I can tell you I suffered a lot every time I got a BSOD... It was also true agony every time I had to work on a system loaded with WinME.

You can say the same for the Koch's. While maybe they are not as open to be helpful with their money as Buffet, they do create "long term" industry. I do not like their meddling in politics as it's usually done at the expense of the tax payers but they do create long term industry jobs and aren't the same as most of these investment banker types which are only interested in how much they can make in the short term.

btw, the Koch Bros make roughly 3 million an hour based on a 40hr work week. That's roughly 17 million per day. Not quite Buffet level I guess but not bad.

I know. Usually I just ignore his nonsense but I really have no tolerance for people who hold up Che Guevara as some sort of idealistic hero. It's total bullshit. And I can't understand anyone supporting communism in this day and age.

capitalism created communism indirectly...communism is a reaction to the reality of what capitalism was...communism did not rise because capitalism was all peaces and roses...it was a movement to fight the establishment of the time...they succeeded or they didnt...the important thing was they put up a fight...

capitalism will always fail in the long run...inequality is the end result of capitalism...wallmart, amazaon, tubes...one big playa fucking all the rest...go ahead and pretend things are going to get better...

communism is when all the means of production are in the hands of the state...when only a few rich people own the state then thats practically communism...

I never said he swam in money. Think outside the box they keep you.

How many of those are on minimum wage?

How many involved in the construction of buildings that you and I will never rent?

Look at all the richest people in the US and see how many made it by creating production jobs in the US. Then go to China's richest list and compare.

We are moving to economies based on things with an imaginary value. This guy's worth is based on a sector of the West that produces little in the West and makes a fortune by doing that.

How many of the programs MS sold across the counter were made in the Third World?

How much of his wealth is he ploughing back into the US?

How many of the people he saves in Africa will go on to over-populate that continent and increase the mass migration to Europe?

So we should stop all charity work in Africa and let those suffering rot?..

The problem with Communism is it's always run by greedy men. So always fails in the end.

In it's purest state it removes the desire to strive to improve anything. So always ends up with greedy people running it and failure.

The problem with Capitalism today is the money is being concentrated at the top. It used to provide 100s of millions with jobs in the countries the goods were sold to or exported to other. Now it's increasingly more profitable for the bosses to not produce those goods in the country of sale. So will fail in the end.

Both systems fail once they stop sharing increased wealth.

Absolutely. I would spend the money in the UK and slow down the rot there.

Brits pay far too little tax. At the moment the gap between Revenue and Spending shows a 13% shortfall. Say 5% more on income tax, 3% more on NI, 3% more on VAT, 2% on alcohol and tobacco. So the country can stop borrowing in 2017 so long as there's no increased spending.

If the country wants more houses, better NHS, Education, Social Services, Policing, prisons, etc. A rise of 18% would be adequate and allow the country to look after people in places where they will never be able to support themselves. Don't forget HS2 the terain to nowhere that will cost billions every year.

Are you willing to pay that?

I do not support communism at all, my avatar is just a prediction of what the USA will become where only a few players will own everything...

the #1 problem is that capitalism is that it is speculative and exploit is rewarded...if you can suicide net your 3rd world workers for pennies the shareholders will LOVE you...you will get your ass licked 6ways and they will stand in line to invest more...on the other hand if you give fair wages and do not concentrate on sucking their blood dry you will be dropped by shareholders like a hot potato...

its kinda ironic that 1st word people are falling victim to their own capitalism...wallmart CEO actually phoned other companies and urged them to drop wages for their own workers so that they could offer cheaper goods to wallmart to resell

the current system we have in the world should be called "fuck-someone-over-ism" not capitalism...or "fuck-ism" ...

companies should not be allowed to grow unless they employ X amount of people at Y salary...speculative investment should be taxed but intrinsic investment should not...want to buy a 3rd house? well tough cheese its gonna cost you out of the asshole...but want to create new jobs with good salaries? no problem enjoy the tax free status or even better here is some free money from speculative tax...

Possibly. A large part of it just prolongs the suffering by making areas dependent upon aid, or keeping alive the sick enabling them to breed and multiply the problems, or even just messing up traditional local customs, the rest buys Bentleys for dictators.

Its the same as meddling in the Middle East. We end up projecting our own cultural values on places where the people couldn't be more different from us if they had fallen from space so everything intended as assistance isn't received in the same way as imagined. Quite by surprise I've ended up spending the whole of December dealing with people from Africa and the saying "every day is a school day" is an understatement!
