allegedly there's a Swiss writer who called a journalist a quote fat lesbian and for that was sentenced to 60 days in prison. Do you think that's true? Do you think that there's nothing else missing in that story? I feel like there's something missing in the story. You really can't call somebody a fat lesbian without going to jail if you're Swiss. I mean, I guess that's possible, but it seems like…

Well, Warren Buffett also has a half opinion. You've heard me say that before. A half opinion is when you ignore either the costs or the benefits of a situation and you just act like only one of them exist. Oh, it's just a cost. Don't do i

"Should" is usually a signal that you've got a half opinion coming. So listen to this. This is what Warren Buffett said about tariffs. Quote, "Trade should not be a weapon." Trade should not be a weapon. So…
