Why does Barry want to kill Americans?

The January report determined that blocking the controversial pipeline could increase Oil train traffic and lead to an additional 49 injuries and 6 deaths per year, mostly by using historical injury and fatality statistics for railways.
That finding was a small element of a broader examination of how building the pipeline could impact climate change, endangered species, quality of life and other issues.
But the report mistakenly used a forecast for three months of expected accidents rather than full-year figures, officials said. The correct estimate of deaths should be roughly 4X as large; between 18 and 30 fatalities per year.

oil pipeline. so the money will keep flowing from buffett to the dems as long as the pipeline is held in limbo, because buffett is making tons of money off his trains. the added bonus is obama gets to act like he's appeasing his left-wing enviro-loons.

That other half is probably still pretty important

dontcha think. Assuming that it is in fact correct that he gives half of his money to charity.
I'll take your word for it because it doesn't have anything at all to do with the point that was made.

sure, but again suggesting that Buffet's objection to the pipeline is financially driven is absurd. But when has that stopped people n here from inventing their own narrative and running with it as fact.

How is it absurd?

Regardless of how much money he gives away or keeps, he still needs it to do so.
Of course the fact that he makes millions off of the trains motivates his decisions for or against. IMO to suggest otherwise would be what is rather absurd.
