    At one point as a young man and college economics major, I had a lot of respect for these types of people

    20 years of living inside the grinder that is the financialization of everything, and it’s clear that none of these financialists create value.

    They simply reallocate value to make wealth flywheels for the people who already have enough and continuing to be the mechanism which consolidates economic power.

    Good riddance

    Genuine question: why is there such an outpouring of love for him? I know he was a very successful investor, but what beyond that has garnered him the adulation of so many people?

    RIP. He would have turned 100 on New Year’s Day.
