![]() Buffett took a controlling stake in 1965. Their investments in Berkshire Hathaway began in 1962, when the company made men’s suit linings at textile mills in Massachusetts. In short order they were talking on the telephone almost daily and investing in the same companies and securities. Though the precise venue of their first meeting was the subject of lore, it was clear they hit it off right away. His fateful introduction to Buffett had come during a 1959 visit home to Omaha. I thought it was undignified to have to send invoices to other people.” 1959 introduction “Not because I wanted Ferraris - I wanted independence. “Like Warren, I had a considerable passion to get rich,” Munger told Roger Lowenstein for Buffett: The Making of an American Capitalist, published in 1995. He founded a new law office, Munger, Tolles & Hills, and, in 1962, started an investment partnership, Wheeler, Munger & Co., modeled on the ones Buffett had set up with his earliest investors in Omaha. Not satisfied with the income potential of his legal career, Munger began working on construction projects and real estate deals. (Teddy, Munger’s first-born, had died of leukemia in 1955.) In 1956, Munger married Nancy Barry Borthwick, a mother of two, and over time they expanded their blended family by having four more children. They added two daughters to their family before divorcing in 1953. With his wife and their son, Teddy, Munger moved to California to join a Los Angeles law firm. Munger worked on the Harvard Law Review and in 1948 was one of 12 in the class of 335 to graduate magna cum laude. He was admitted only after a family friend and former dean of the school intervened, according to Janet Lowe’s 2000 book, Damn Right! Behind the Scenes with Berkshire Hathaway Billionaire Charlie Munger. Lacking an undergraduate degree, Munger applied to Harvard Law School before his Army discharge in 1946. It was during this period, in 1945, that he married his first wife, Nancy Huggins. He was sent to the California Institute of Technology to learn meteorology before being posted to Nome, Alaska. In 1942, during his sophomore year, he enlisted in the Army Air Corps, soon to become the Air Force. “When I was young, I could get an A in any mathematics course without doing any work at all,” he said in a 2017 conversation at Michigan’s Ross Business School. Munger entered the University of Michigan at age 17 with plans to study math, mostly because it came so easily. he served on its board for more than two decades - did more good for society than big-name philanthropic foundations. Republican Party and Buffett sided with Democrats, the two often found common ground on issues such as the desirability of universal health care and the need for government oversight of the financial system.īut while Buffett would tour the world urging billionaires to embrace charity, Munger said a private company like Costco Wholesale Corp. “In today’s society, that’s a really unique thing.” ![]() “I love his ability to just cut to the heart of things and not care how he says it,” said Cole Smead, CEO of Smead Capital Management, a longtime Berkshire investor. He called Bitcoin “noxious poison,” defined cryptocurrency generally as “partly fraud and partly delusion” and warned that much of banking had become “gambling in drag.” Munger was an outspoken critic of corporate misbehavior, faulting as “demented” and “immoral” the compensation packages given to some chief executives.

The difficulty can be annoying at points, but it's all pretty doable.īest build tip I can give is to rock a light-middle weight bi-ped with the pixie machine gun, the shotgun that looks like 4 tubes just molded together, and the missile launcher than shoots 3 at once and carries 60 ammo. There's a TON of build variety to be experienced and a lot of super cool missions. I beat it for the first time on PSP so it was actually even harder than the PS2 version since you had less buttons to work with and the lock boxes are smaller, but I still had fun with it. Honestly, it's not my favorite but it grew on me with time. Armored core 3 and SL are easily standouts in the FS and AC portfolio I'd say they honestly rival the series but even if I'm an outlier in that regard I'll die on that hill.Įdit: also, christ the machine gun burst fire rework annoyed the fuck out of me.

Nexus felt superior in that there were interesting story beats to it but Last raven almost at times felt like it was a series at the end of its life with the characters coming off exhausted with war which was very much on point as some characters, newcomers almost seemed to not notice or even relish the intensity of an endwar but in the end the rebalances mechanically and soundtrack just felt spent in some ways and in others it felt like it was wrapping stories. ![]() An end of the world scenario made anemic with some minor poor decisions. Last raven feels like the bones of a good game. The fact it wasnt at least karisawa powerful or a contender felt like it shipped bugged and back then obviously there were no post launch updates. I do believe the game was seriously under developed and that the signature new energy rifle was made so under powered likely by mistake. I can remember feeling like mechanically too much had changed in my eyes for me to be comfortable with it. I played the game when it came out, I'd been 15 at the time.

There’s real cognitive dissonance.” “He didn’t have this presentation of ongoing aggression and hostility,” says Lori Haskell, a clinical psychologist who focuses on violence against women. So if he hit you, it would have come as a huge surprise. Women wanted his attention, and he was shameless about using his celebrity to get dates. He was liberal and touted feminist politics on-air. Ghomeshi was a beloved, successful and charming staple of Canada’s culture scene. ![]() It can be even harder when an assailant is popular. He seemed so charming and affectionate, so how do you fit that in with he suddenly punched me? Lori Haskell, clinical psychologist When you have feelings for someone who then becomes sexually aggressive or abusive, the aftermath can be extremely hard to process. “It’s not this imaginary green-saliva-drooling perpetrator scenario that you have in the back of your mind.” “That’s what the real world looks like,” she says. Criminal lawyer Susan Chapman says it’s normal for her clients to let their rapists drive them home after an assault or take them out on more dates. Yet while the women’s actions seem counterintuitive – why run towards a fist? – every lawyer or counsellor who has worked with survivors will tell you they’re extremely common behaviors.ĭespite the mainstream perception that most sexual assaults are committed by strangers in dark alleys, in 80% of cases, women know their attackers. None of them had initially offered this information to police or the prosecutor, a fact Henein claimed further undermined their credibility. If he violently pulled witness No 1’s hair and punched her three times, why did she later send him a photo of herself in a red string bikini? If he really squeezed witness No 3 by the neck and smothered her mouth while they were kissing, why did she agree to another date in which she gave him a hand job? Why would DeCoutere send sexually forward emails to the man who abused her? Throughout Ghomeshi’s trial, which ended 11 February and will be ruled on in March, his defence lawyer Marie Henein focused on the contradictory actions of the three complainants, two of whose names are protected under a publication ban. The way victims behave after a sexual assault is grossly misunderstood by the public and the legal system. Since then, at least a dozen women have accused Ghomeshi of sexual violence. When she returned home to Halifax she sent him flowers with a note that said “Thanks for hanging out.”ĭeCoutere also mailed him a letter less than a week later in cursive writing that ended with: “I love your hands, Lucy.” The same hands he had allegedly used to choke her. Tonight.” An odd reaction from someone who would later testify she did not consent to his violent behavior.Īfter the alleged assault, DeCoutere spent the rest of the weekend with Ghomeshi, having brunch, going to a BBQ and taking a photo of themselves cuddling in the park. ![]() She sent him an email early the next morning that said: “You kicked my ass last night and that makes me want to fuck your brains out. Her actions in the days and weeks that followed became even more contradictory, given his alleged behavior. He slapped her twice, paused to look at her, and slapped her again.Ĭonfused about how to act, DeCoutere stayed for another hour while Ghomeshi played his guitar and a record. Then he grabbed her by the throat and choked her hard enough that she couldn’t breathe. As she told the court last week during Ghomeshi’s trial, for which he faces four counts of sexual assault and one count of overcoming resistance by choking, he started to kiss her and with “no buildup”, pushed her aggressively against a wall. |
