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.

I find it surprising that Buffett would not inform Abel about the decision before announcing it publicly.

Not really. At first I wished I could see Abel´s face that moment, whether he looked shocked, with open mouth --- only to realise the next second that the inner circle is far too close for that, that surely for none of them it was a surprise.

I am just sad that an era comes to an end, that from I will have to watch old AR videos now, with Charlie & Warren, as without Warren in the middle of the scene and leading the talk it´s not interesting for me anymore.

But mainly I am worried for a man I admire and for whom I wished he could do until the very end what he loves so much to do: Coming tapdancing to work.

I still hope for him he can do that to his last minute.
