My vote, and your vote, won't make a difference but maybe Mr. Buffett will see that some folks don't agree with what is obvious nepotism.

Not everyone on a board should have the same qualifications nor the same talents. If that was the goal, why bother with having more than one person?

While not taking a stand on nepotism (I'm generally against it) there is something to be said for 'culture' and maintaining a productive company against those who would come in and strip it for parts (see: Eddie Lambert). I view these two as a step in that direction. I may be wrong, or they may not be successful, but two on a board of 14 does not seem unholy.

That Warren has espoused other things over an extended career doesn't surprise me either. Over 70 years I have probably said things that I would disagree with or modify now.
