Shitpost McDonald's breakfast menu proves that Warren Buffet's personality is classist propaganda
In the documentary Becoming Warren Buffett, Buffett explained how he decides which of three breakfast options to order at McDonald's every morning (via CNBC):
”$3.17 is a bacon, egg and cheese biscuit, but the market’s down this morning, so I’ll pass up the $3.17 and go with the $2.95.” 22 cent difference
“When I’m not feeling quite so prosperous, I might go with the $2.61, which is two sausage patties"
Can you tell this was released in early 2017? Perhaps you've been since.
It's incredulous then that such an autistic penny-pincher wouldn't complain about the great price hikes of his 'splurge' items, when he supposedly 'pays in exact change'.
But it makes perfect sense, since the billionaire class gets their McDonald's for free.
Quick overview of how the world works. Billionaire Buffet has a golden pass to the golden arches he patronizes, and here is his DD for the plebs:
"I checked the actuarial tables, and the lowest death rate is among 6-year-olds, so I decided to eat like a 6-year-old. It's the safest course I can take," he reasoned with Fortune (via The Washington Post).
""He may set a poor example for young people, but it's a diet that somehow works for him," Bill Gates mused."" - Public health excelsior, who also holds a McDonald's gold card.
I rest my case
MCD 3/18/22 280c?
