This man cannot be 89... i need to start drinking coke daily

[TheFortuneFinder]

Man, for 89 years of age this guy is remarkable.

[VANCOUVERHOUSEFINDER]

This man will be missed. I hope he lives on forever

[paulxavier]

This video should have 330 million views (the population of the USA). Everyone should watch this.

[TheBigdan]

Warren sometimes eats a bowl of ice cream for breakfast.

[chivasowle]

Can Buffett teach me every subject, please? He really has a matter-of-fact way of explaining things that I enjoy.

12:25 600k slaves... 23:10 4Million slaves... 50:20 15% of the population were slaves... ... ... "Currently" - 300Million debt slaves.

"We still have a long way to go in creating an even wealthier and more equitable society". This shows humility: thank you, Warren

[loveormoney]

He beat the game. Not through timing or wit but through time and temperament.

[brockabaddy]

He's a patriot, optimist and dreamer... He wouldn't have to give this 'inspirational' speech if the economy weren't in such a state of catastrophe. Respect to him for his intentions...

[sidneyosborne]

I feel badly, Warren Buffett doesn't sound well....

[Gabriron]

Can't believe I watched the whole 56 minutes!!! wow! Thanks Buffet! Very good concise history of USA. I agree, there is still a long way to go for equitable society especially considering the inferior position of the minorities in the country. Stay healthy and safe!
Gabriel.

1000:1 wealth increase is staggering but that wealth is owned by top 2%. But general standard of living has improved drastically if you look at food supply, medical advancements, education, safety, freedom and rights

[albertgracilla]

This is scary, he's saying something worse than the great depression is coming. Since the world is based on the dollar, whats scary is what will happen next? Hes not saying it directly bec saying it would only contribute to that likelihood of it actually happening and that the effects of that would be unimaginable

[moizhd]

Going through the comments section really shows why the top 1% really deserve their place above the bottom 99%....

[Jon-Jon]

"Sir, Sir this is a Wendys."

Can you make a Video about Razer(1337)(5RZ) or Esports in general? It's the one entertainment sector that's booming. And the Razer stock has hit it's low before the Cthing happened


Greetings form Holland love your videos

America does not need to be great again, America has always kicked ass.

[salty]

That's a lot of sugar Warren. A can of coke and a box of peanut brittle. I guess sugar is the key to long life.

[alterschwede]

HE IS ABSOLUTELY RIGHT...NOTHING CAN STOP AMERICA...I am german, but we do not have this spirit like the americans have. I REALLY LOVE THIS
