He stops by McDonald’s to grab breakfast on his way to work each morning.
——————————————————————
That stop at McDonald’s probably costs him $1 million each day. In terms of time and lost productivity when buffet could be spending more time making billions of dollars instead of wasting time and money at McDonald’s.
This is the part of the marxist narrative where we demonize the bourgeoisie.
I had a boss who had a favorite saying. “That’s like a dollar chasing a dime.”
In the Buffets case that’s like $1 billion chasing a dime. Don’t be so preoccupied about a four dollar cup of coffee. Don’t be a Scrooge. Enjoy the riches that you have in life.
“Ya don’t get rich by wasting money.”
Absolutely! Why waste money.
I paid $2.49 for a cup of coffee, with refills, today at a diner in Indiana. That’s not too far from $4, and Mrs. B has a helluva lot more money than I do. She sounds like a pain....
Ya don’t get rich by wasting money.
———————————————————
Ya don’t get rich by wasting time either. That is what the Buffets are doing. Stopping at McDonald’s? Griping over four dollars for a cup of coffee?
You buy railroads and have pipelines shut down.
Adjusted for inflation that comes out to $10.56.
Absolutely! Why waste money

When a person is worth $114 billion, a 4 dollar cup of coffee represents 0.000000000000000000000000000000000000001% of their net worth.
I always heard that it is easier to save a million dollars than it is to make a million dollars.
“Warren Buffett detests high inflation, and it appears the billionaire’s wife does too.”
Too bad Scrooge McBuffet has been supporting the filth who have caused the high inflation.
Que the Eddie Murphy Trading Places memes.
She should know that it is free in the lobby of the Best Western.
Finally, a billionaire whose wife isn’t a trophy wife.
He’s a tightwad of the first magnitude. Not leaving anything to kids,
This isn’t news. Astrid Menks _spending_ $4 for a cup of coffee anywhere would be news.
Why is billionaire Buffet getting breakfast at McDonalds everyday? He could probably contract with some diner or such to make up some healthier breakfasts. They can prepare it and have it ready whether he dine’s in or takeout. It would cost a little more but it wouldn’t break his huge bank.
That’s over $10 in today’s “money”.
