I got to hang with Buffet several times over the years. His off stage personality was polar opposite of on stage.

Low quality steak may be around $12/lb but quality steak is about $22-25/lb in Auburn, AL, as of yesterday. Ground beef in the $6.75-7 range.

Recently retired but I spent an average of $1500/year buying materials for labs, basics for kids, even snacks for after school ACT tutoring (no longer funded). I was allowed a $500 write off, and still paid more income tax than Trump, Musk, and Bezos combined.

I just retired from secondary/higher education in Alabama after 32 years. At both levels, my best students were Hispanic. Awesome work ethic, and they’re taught the value of education at home. Never cheat. Majority of American students are lazy, unmotivated, and accountable to nobody.
