The author of this article expects us to believe that he moved away from NYC after 9/11 because Warren Buffet predicted that there would be a nuclear attack on US soil in the next 50 years. He then explains this prediction as a conspiracy theory to sell more insurance. The rest of the article continues this way.

I'm not sure if this is satire or just a really bad article. Since it's on TechCrunch, I'm guessing it's the second one. Flagged.

> My main point is: always look at agendas. Try to understand the real reasons behind someone’s “good reasons”.

I would think anyone's who worked in corporate IT for enough years has changed from starry-eyed programmer to being suspicious of anything done and said.

Could be one reason why ageism is so rampant: the older ones who made it up the ladder want young F.O.B. workers they can lead up the garden path and eventually screw.

"Agility Consultants" seem to be the current IT version of Warren Buffett and co.

Wow, TechCrunch is attacking Buffett on his stance on taxes, and by extension attacking one of the cornerstones of the Obama campaign, the Buffett Rule.

I guess everyone has a breaking point before realizing the policies of this President and his rich friends are a disaster for the US. Obama believes in capitalism alright, fake crony capitalism. Who needs a nuclear event when we have a bunch like this in power?
