Ah, okay. It definitely looks like it was made earlier. It was uploaded in 2011, so that’s what I was going off of. I just finished watching the whole video, which I didn’t expect to do. His father refuses to speak, or even think honestly about the problem. Even at the end when he finally agreed to answer questions, as soon as he started to say something about the pay inequality, he just clammed up and shut down. He seems like a man with a conscience, who has made a choice to never honestly evaluate his position in life, lest he be forced to face enormous guilt. It’s great that his son was able to do a lot more than face it.
I have always had a lot of respect for Warren Buffett. He’s a self made man, and he pledged most of his wealth to charity. His work with Bill Gates to provide low cost electricity to low income areas is well documented, and I thought was coming from a desire to actually help people and the world. But seeing his reaction to his granddaughter has completely changed my opinion of him. What a vicious and terrible person he must be to disown his own granddaughter simply for speaking honestly about who she is. She didn’t even really say anything negative about him. She just did something he didn’t want her to do and he lashed out at her in the most destructive way he could envision. What a complete asshole.
