The week's question
In March 2025, in the thread "Re: OT, out", Umm asked the members: "Do you think it is because America is made up of magical soil that makes businesses based in America magically profitable?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Great point. So nice that we renew the rates and policies annually and can relatively quickly match the rates with risk. Ajit was terrific.

Btw, I felt reassured that it seems like he is very happy and “nerdy”-loves the “game” and it’s unique problem solving 😁at age 73? I doubt he will enter retirement for many years. It’s great to keep hearing Warren’s recurrent and sincere compliments of Ajit. I hope this will Xtra motivate him to stay in his role for a long time & maybe do a slow handoff when the time comes to transition (to Joe Brandon or whoever). You can tell, Ajit Really looks up to WEB as an employee, and a loyal friend and sees WEB almost 94yo, often working 6 days/week & sincerely loving what he does. Gosh, it is hard to overstate Ajit’s incredible value to BRK over 38 years!
