>You can be watching TV and see Coca-Cola, and you know that the President drinks Coke, Liz Taylor drinks Coke, and just think, you can drink Coke, too. A Coke is a Coke and no amount of money can get you a better Coke than the one the bum on the corner is drinking. All the Cokes are the same and all the Cokes are good. Liz Taylor knows it, the President knows it, the bum knows it, and you know it

Only commiefaggots and people who missed the opportunity to buy in early hate him

What exactly is so based about him besides the fact that the he has a lot of money? The guy is a living breathing marketing tool. Every single one of these things that he talks about being “simple pleasures” like Coke or his daily McDonald’s breakfast are because he effectively owns the company. He stands to profit off of telling normies to go buy this shit despite knowing that they are bad for you or outright lying about his usage. It’s the same story with his investing advise. It’s quite the coincidence that he sells “how to” manuals regarding investing the way he tells people to invest and owns several companies who handle those transactions.

>>14722761
He’s a bit of a fraud
He was a lifelong Pepsi drinker until he saw how undervalued Coca Cola stock was. Then he bought billions in stock . Then his favorite soft drink changed.

Well, ackshckhually. It's been proven that there are different cokes for different markets. There's a big problem with inferior goods in the Eastern part of the EU single market, and there have been many lawsuits about it.
Corn syrup vs actual sugar is a big deal. I saw a yt video of a guy who fought in the Iraqi war, and said Iraqi coke tastes better than US coke.

This guy was the "my secretary pays more taxes than me" guy. Guess what his solution was?
It wasn't to tax away his tax havens or to tax his assets. It was an increased INCOME TAX.
Guess what this guy and all others like him don't have? Income. They have assets and capital gains.
Their income is inconsequential.
Think before you react. Their solution would be to take income from those to whom it makes a difference, while they sit on 50+BN.

I'll give you that his act works. He's not a top three wealthiest guy for no reason.

I fought in WWII, and traveled to all 181 nations and tasted all Coca Cola sold in them and have concluded that my favorite and hence the best, is a nice crisp cold glass of the Coca Colla found Bolivia.

Are you retarded? Or course he doesn't care if the information is free, he owns the services he is recommending people use.

Some kiddo got busted for using forums to pump penny stocks with gullible idiots then sell and move on. How is Buffett any more moral in his behavior than that kid who faced criminal charges? Net worth distorts everything.

He's a boomer idol with boomer values. Muh original house and wealth hording. Meanwhile what values does the man actually stand for? He has complete faith in the idea that if wall street profits main street improves. He can't be that ignorant. It is malicious.

I want Coca Cola in a 33 cl glass bottle.
Is that too much to ask for?

>>14722723
Can you still remember it /lit/? As a kid I'd genuinely enjoy the Coke brand, its wholesome Christmas tv commercials. No concerns for whether or not this was simulation or simulacra, a late capitalist phenomenon, or part of the logic of postmodernism. That's just Coke. Anything like this is gone. Theory and politics reflexively imposed on everything. I just hope there's an end to the obsessive questioning.

Coke makes me fucking sick. Pepsi's better.

This might just as well be because of the fact that you appreciate a nice cold taste of home a lot more when you're in the hot desert fighting a war. Ofcourse that can of coke will test better than the coke you chug down by the liter sitting on the couch watching tv.

Sight influences taste (and hearing, and smell).

>The Holy See admits practically the lawfulness of interest on loans, even for ecclesiastical property, though it has not promulgated any doctrinal decree on the subject. See the replies of the Holy Office dated 18 August, 1830, 31 August, 1831, 17 January, 1838, 26 March, 1840, and 28 February, 1871; and that of the Sacred Penitentiary of 11 February, 1832. These replies will be found collected in "Collectio Lacensis" (Acta et decreta s. conciliorum recentiorum), VI, col. 677, Appendix to the Council of Pondicherry; and in the "Enchiridion" of Father Bucceroni.
>Even at the present day, a small number of French catholics (Abbé Morel, "Du prêt à intéret"; Modeste, "Le prêt à intérêt, dernière forme de l'esclavage") see in the attitude of the Church only a tolerance justified by the fear of greater evils. This is not so. The change in the attitude of the Church is due entirely to a change in economic matters that require the present system. The Holy See itself puts its funds out at interest, and requires ecclesiastical administrators to do the same. One writer, Father Belliot of the friars minor, denounces in loans for interest "the principal economic scourge of civilization", though the accumulation of wealth in the hands of a few capitalists, which he deplores so much, does not arise so much from lending money at proper interest as from industrial investments, banking operations, and speculations, which have never been condemned as unjust in principle. There has never been at any time any prohibition against the investment of capital in commercial or industrial undertakings or in the public funds.

How dare you condemn the Church like this

>>14725956
i condemn those statements and i do not adhere to them. fuck kikes, whoever wrote that is probably a kike
