The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" 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.

I'm actually more disappointed with the recent additions of Wally Weitz and Chris Davis than another Buffett progeny to the BOD. With Buffet progeny I at least feel I know why they are there. Including Meryl Witmer, there are now three professional money managers on the BOD, and don't know what diversity of talent or experience they bring.

I would have preferred someone with more experience running big global corporation like Indira Nooyi. With Bill Gates's departure, maybe someone with background in software, internet etc. Someone like Jeff Bezos, Tim Cook or Morris Chang.
