It did cause Buffett to address the problem of managers giving political donations based on their own personal politics and it was also an interesting admission that by Buffett that many of the fields they invest in such as public utilities rely on the greasing of politicians by contributions which I thought was even though he didn't use those terms a very interesting and perhaps even criminal admission.

Half the powdered sphincters in that room slammed shut at the mention of Epstein. They’ve all been to his island.

Wow, that's a lot of pedophiles in one room.

Buffet here literally saying donations to Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, and other politicians unfortunately necessary for Berkshire's subsidiaries.

I wonder how many in the room had the cops on speed dial.

it got Shoad already? must be true then. please give mirror? please?

The problem is that even if he is being honest that Berkshire Hathaway does not act as a political vector for anyone's politics the reality is that while that should be the standard position it isn't. The whole investment field has become political. The way this would make Berkshire Hathaway a political vector even if it make no effort to is that that money ends up entrained with other investment inside these companies, like black rock money, that is political. And to the extent that black rock has a stronger stake or chooses to pressure for politics while BH doesn't under their apolitical stance, then that is providing more capital for what will now be political companies.

If he or his org is not pursuing politics he is still entraining capital with political investment. That's the best case even if he is being honest.

I think what the activist investor was going to say before he got booed was that they need to actively divest in things that commingle money with these people. But he was booed so Warren was able to set his own standard of what the issue was about and say BH doesn't apply political pressure.

Arrested for WHAT?
