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.

Indeed, nor is Howie. Even Greg isn't young, and most of these folks are so wealthy that they can step away and do whatever they please without a care in the world.

I've wished for some new blood in the board, and their leadership ranks, for some time. Todd and Ted were a start but that was about 15 years ago. I thought Tracy Britt Cool was going to fill that role, but she went off to found her own little Berkshire type entity (Kanbrick, a private equity firm) so that was that. Their youngest board member (I forget the name, I just looked up their ages) is 55, and youngest by about 7 years - Greg seems to be the next youngest.
