    I love how this got said and nobody took it at full value except leftists. This isn't him just admitting he's richer, this is him admitting that his success comes from your failure. This why the war analogy is the only analogy that works when it comes to accurately describing the class conflict.

    There was a study released recently that was like "maybe macroeconomic conditions account for the success of traders alive today because they grew up and will die in the largest bull market in history." People like Buffett are exactly that. They are lauded as genius investors with all these strategies. But then you zoom out and see that you would have to try to lose money over the past 80 years in order to do it. Some definitely have. But our economy is ran by people who think being in the right place at the right time is a skill that can be learned. You see the same attitudes in real estate. People who got into the business when you could take out tons of loans at once, housing was cheap, you only had to pay interest in the first few years, loans were larger, etc. They became millionaires and billionaires. Then people getting into it right now are like "these people are geniuses."
