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.

Mr Buffett’s salary remained at $100k p.a. despite steep increases in cost of living in recent years. $885 Billion of market wealth creation to date. You degenerates don’t deserve this man!

And of course he reimbursed the company $50k of that for personal use of the telephone, stamps, and secretary's grabbing him lunch.

Charlie got his entire $100k salary despite missing a month. I wouldn't be surprised if that salary wasn't an every-two-weeks standard set-up.

It will be interesting to see if Greg sends a message upon ascending to CEO by adopting the $100k salary. He will certainly be able to afford it.
