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.

<<Cunningham's argument about Susie "understanding Berkshire culture" is a shockingly low bar for a board seat of a major company in my opinion.>>

That is a shockingly low bar, it's also not what he said. It's what you said.

Larry Cunningham actually said, "Susie obviously knows Berkshire better than anyone and spends way more time with him than anyone else,
even his wife, and knows the culture and the do's and don'ts, and she is also tough. When he leaves, we know there won't be
exceptions or exemptions or waivers around core principles. She will speak up for that."

"She understands Berkshire better than anyone, spends more time with Warren than anyone and she's tough..."

That's someone I want on my board. Perhaps you don't, I'll vote my shares you vote yours. Different viewpoints make the world interesting!

BTW If you don't know, Lawrence A. Cunningham is a lawyer, professor, corporate advisor, and author.
Cunningham is best known as an expert on corporate governance. He is also known for his knowledge of the history and corporate culture of Berkshire Hathaway and Warren Buffett. (Now you know.)

Warren has said, "Howard and Susie both understand the company's distinctive culture and are invested in its long-term success."

Have a great day all! Go get your Shrewd on!
