I read your 2020 annual letter with interest, @chamath. Odd it was published in late May, but we’re all busy. Before commenting on this incredibly bad take of a comparison to Berkshire Hathaway, allow me to help you with some math. First, 1965 to 1974 is TEN years, not nine. 1/ pic.twitter.com/6nmjn1SzEd

I find the fixation on 1970s inflation puzzling for several reasons. Inflation really wasn't that high, certainly not by the standards of "historically memorable inflations." Also, high inflation was good for a lot of people. Student loan debt disappeared! Home ownership spiked!
