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.

Good interview. Worth the hour to listen.

Maybe oddly, I somehow found myself wishing Becky was on the BRK board of directors. Then I would feel sure the right questions were being asked - and bored into - when discussed. She's really good at her job.

I noticed that Warren's voice became stronger as the interview progressed. I'm only 4 1/2 years behind him in age, and I've noticed my own voice changing - especially recently. But as you get "rolling" some of the older voice comes back as the discussions proceed. Maybe the brain needs to get warmed up a bit first?

Warren's more convinced than I am about the children's ability to employ philanthropy WISELY at the rate he's encouraging. OTOH, Howard's been doing some great work in the Ukraine agriculture fields supplying equipment, supplies, aiding in mine removals, and generally quietly helping the country to keep going. Maybe you just need to pick big targets. And then get the other two to agree. I do wish that maybe he wasn't getting as close to the action as he does.
