In the realm of wise investors and business moguls, Charlie Munger, the billionaire business partner of Warren Buffett, is a source of valuable advice. His interests span wide, but they all converge on a singular focus: the pursuit of wealth, happiness and the avoidance of making dumb mistakes. During the 2023 Berkshire Hathaway Inc. annual meeting, Buffett expressed his desire to be born in the present day, considering it a superior world compared to any before. He acknowledged that modern comm
I will start expecting less right after he starts accepting less.
He also tried to design a windowless mega-dorm as a weird social experiment of sorts. All around great guy
In his October 25 resignation letter to UCSB Campus Architect Julie Hendricks, Dennis McFadden ― a well-respected Southern California architect with 15 years on the committee ― goes scorched earth on the radical new building concept, which calls for an 11-story, 1.68-million-square-foot structure that would house up to 4,500 students, 94 percent of whom would not have windows in their small, single-occupancy bedrooms.
The idea was conceived by 97-year-old billionaire-investor turned amateur-architect Charles Munger, who donated $200 million toward the project with the condition that his blueprints be followed exactly. Munger maintains the small living quarters would coax residents out of their rooms and into larger common areas, where they could interact and collaborate.

Thankfully it did not get approved.
Instead of ripping that billionaire asunder in the streets and eating his heart while it is raw and still pumping i am willing for him to pay 95% tax rate.
that is the toughness that i am willing: to abate my cannibalistic desire to devour the beating hearts of billionaires.
Tax that shitheel.
Easy to say if you're on death's doorstep and also worth over 2 billion dollars. It won't be him having to deal with the fallout of capitalistic destruction, he just got to eat big and sit pretty, telling other people for decades how stupid they are about money...
He can "expect less" when all his assets are seized and he's sent to a Alaskan gulag
No reason to bother sending one this old to the gulag, the glue factory would suffice
HOW DO THEY ALL HAVE THE FACES OF LITERAL DEMONS!?!!?
Like if I saw that face while high I would reach for the 12 gauge.
I thought someone had just used a spherize filter or something on a picture of McConnell
You better, or he'll take your medallion to find the Ark of the Covenant.
I could totally see Stephen Gammel doing a charcoal pencil drawing of that face for a Scary Stories To Tell In The Dark book.
"You will own nothing and be happy" Once again, WASPs are doing everything they accuse us Jews of doing. These pigs get to live spoiled lives by speculating off of honest labor, and THIS is their way of saying "thank you"?
Fuck off, oinker.
Some fascists see the real problems of "a small group of people owns everything and is screwing you over" and instead of making the obvious connection(rich people) they deflect with propaganda and say it's DA JOOS. Others don't even need a reason to be a bigot
The moon from the smashing pumpkins "tonight tonight" video emerged from it's platinum-lined bunker and helicoptered into a press conference in order to deliver a dire economic warning.
"There are tough times ahead (of you)." Said the anthropomorphization of the human conflict between the spirit of adventure and terror of the unknown. "Everyone (of you) is gonna have to make sacrifices."
When asked about its own sacrifices the early French cinema reference said "Why yes, I've had to make sacrifices. Due to budget cuts, we've not been able to pay what we used to for orphan children to heave into my gaping maw. It used to be several premium infants a day, now I'm lucky if I get two Spaniard toddlers to quench my insatiable, burning hunger for innocent blood. In this way, I feel I've sacrificed even more than the rest of you. I've sacrificed my sacrifice, and I give up more every day in the form of feasting on subpar children than most of you will lose when my capital group buys your foreclosed home at auction."
"No matter how hard things get, or how much the world demands (of you)," the monster embedded in the collective human imagination added, "remember that we're all in this together." It then boarded it's helicopter, which flew it a short way to a yacht with a helipad, which itself sailed out to sea until it could dock in an even bigfer yacht. From that yacht then launched a rocket, presumably to carry the nightmare creature back to it's home in low earth orbit where it can continue to look down on us, but literally this time.
I don't know the Cyrillic alphabet at all and at first glance I thought this was Vlad the Lad just saying "Ahem..."
It's been a while. They seem to have forgotten that such a thing is possible at all, and they're getting very bold in telling us that a number of us are going to die screaming while they enjoy tech-enabled luxuries beyond people's wildest dreams.
Sounds like the words of someone that needs to be roasted live over an open fire and devoured by coyotes.
So said every other dipshit in a high place. Accepting one’s station in life is for losers and cowards, especially when it’s guys like this telling me to do so
It warms my heart that we are blessed by these pearls of wisdom from our fellow man and all-arround relatable person, Charlie Munger.
Heres an idea. We unalive him. Takes his money. Redistribute the wealth. profit.
After 500M net worth, security becomes a personal matter and protection of the law is lost. Murder of billionaire becomes legal and their assets are the bounty. They can sink their money into a personal army OR roll all excess over 500M into voluntary taxes!
