>wish that Warren had bought the rafting company and decided to pay them a living wage instead of doing nothing and not acknowledging the problem”

Warren Buffett is probably the most outspoken rich person to advocate for the government to increase wealth redistribution via increased taxes. He also has probably donated some of the biggest sums in the history of the world to objectively benefit poorer people.

Yet here you are, concluding that Buffett does not acknowledge excessive wealth gaps from the fact that he did not donate money to a specific worker working for a business he paid to receive a service for, or that it was somehow Buffett's responsibility to buy the whole business as a form of charity.
