    Not a coincidence the airlines got a bailout without bankrupting/recapitalization as Buffet was a huge shareholder...he sold afterwards at a loss but he should have lost all his investment instead of half.

    Also basically lived as a polygamist...and not in the ‘I have a harem of hotties’ sense...weird dude.

    Cheaper to keep her and LEAVE

    Rich people get all the breaks.

    Buffet got into repos towards the end then bought Berkshire and does high end real estate

    From a financial standpoint that has to be much better than divorcing (like Bozos and Gates) and loosing upwards of $35 billion in the process.

    Just outlive the witch and carry on.

    Not a bad motto.

    Helps if you find one that introduces you to future side pieces or let’s you fool around for business interests (the WP lady), even if she gets the occasional mental breakdown and bangs the occasional tennis pro.

    Disagree. When there are no travelers you don't BK and reorg. You die and stay dead.

    If Congress is going to prop up Amtrak you better believe they won't let the airlines go under and lose 500,000 industry jobs.

    Buffet could have extended Delta or Southwest a preferred share arrangement with warrants which would allow him to own either airline for ~$15B but didn't.

    Airlines as I learned are a great business until they aren't.

    You can bail out the business and keep them whole, but it’s insane to say you bail out the stockholders. The entire point of stock returns is that they take the most risk if things go south...when the govt says nope...we will backstop you so you take no risk...well then you have something but it sure isn’t capitalism.

    And Buffet didn’t because there is zero way even he could have bribed his way to get the govt to just bail him out...
