  1. No, it's not really short-term thinking. Buffett's been writing and warning investors for nearly two decades, but he kept outperforming. But it is a reality. It will turn into an advantage in terms of size, but it doesn't mean it will be accretive to growth or opportunity. Cheers!
  2. Sure, it's not that different than many thrillers, but the subject matter was well detailed and is interesting...enough so that the Pentagon got involved! Cheers! https://www.cnn.com/2025/10/28/entertainment/video/netflix-pentagon-house-dynamite-streaming-controversy-jake-tapper-lead
  3. That's not funny...that's a friggin' money maker if they could make that...including a woman's version that could service the clitoris. In fact, I suspect that may be a real thing one day before robots are ready to become sex partners. Cheers!
  4. More likely Jared! He came across far better than Don Jr. or Eric on 60 Minutes...I think Ivanka would be happier as a First Lady. Could also be Little Marco. Cheers!
  5. Problem is that Trumpie pardoned just as many scumbags and used his gigantic Sharpie! Not sure why anyone would be proud of either President's antics! Cheers!
  6. No, they probably don't. But once you are made the head of the HHS, a significant amount of credibility is undeservedly earned. Not too mention the sheer amount of power he has now to fuck things up and get more people killed...which he is moving forward with! Cheers!
  7. https://www.unicef.org/eca/media/39561/file/European Region reports highest number of measles cases in more than 25 years.pdf Page 5...it's pretty clear that countries that mandate childhood vaccinations or encourage childhood vaccinations (and hit a greater than 90% rate) have extremely low levels of measles. Ireland for the last few years has fallen well below 90%, thus the increase in incidence rate. I don't care whether a government mandates a vaccine or not...but citizens should not be oblivious to the statistical facts backing science and not hearsay! Cheers!
  8. Hilarious! ROTFLMAO! Cheers!
  9. Try that next time if it ends up being something far deadlier than Covid. Cheers!
  10. +1! It was a complete non-issue until Ivermectin, bleach and Robert F. Kennedy appeared. Even Trump has gotten all of his vaccinations since the beginning of the Pandemic...yet facts and reason fall by the wayside to morons and their bullshit! Cheers!
  11. +1! Cheers!
  12. Ok, so if a drunk driver drove into your family, you don't give two shits? What if your wife didn't give two shits and said seatbelts are for the oppressed...our kids don't need to wear them anymore? How about if your neighbor came over and took a dump on your doorstep...you wouldn't give two shits? People only give two shits once it directly affects them and their family...otherwise they don't give two shits because that oppresses freedom! Cheers!
  13. https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/state-stats/deaths/covid19.html Can't speak for Sweden, but you can see from the map that the more restrictive states had fewer deaths as the pandemic spread and the years went by. Pretty simple case! Cheers!
  14. That's because if your children do not get vaccines in the UK, the many not be able to attend schools in many regions...thus the high vaccination rate in children even though not mandated. Florida doesn't restrict attendance. Cheers!
  15. Absolutely has to do with size. Sure, they missed out on a few opportunities, but size has definitely reduced the number of opportunities. Competition with P/E, hedge funds is another issue. If your universe was 2000 companies and now it's 500 companies and your are competing with the Brookfields of the world...that's going to cut into your opportunities. And that universe will continue to get smaller. Eventually BRK will track the index at some point when ideas and existing businesses will no longer move the needle any more than the average. That's still probably 20-30 years away. Where Berkshire has an advantage and may be able to prolong such an era is by acting boldly when the shit hits the fan. They will probably be more liquid than 99% of others. It's probably where Fairfax will hit the ball out of the park as well! Cheers!
  16. +1! Cheers!
  17. Well, it's liberals who mostly use those two. Cheers!
  18. Yup! Even today, if you are exposed, you have a 90% chance of getting the measles if unvaccinated. Cheers!
  19. Sure, with your own life...but not with your kid's life or how it affects other people's children. This is the really stupid part of this argument...which for such a smart man is what keeps surprising me! I mean if your kid's leg was really badly cut...more than just stitches...would you just try and patch it up yourself or go to a hospital with a surgeon? The nutjobs trust medicine when they admit they can't fix the problem, yet when it comes to the science side of medicine, they suddenly become the god-damn expert after some Youtube video or podcast! Cheers!
  20. LOL! Cheers!
  21. This is what happens when idiots discount science and fake news permeates the minds of usually sane people! Cheers! https://www.cnn.com/2025/10/27/health/measles-elimination-canada-us-who
  22. Extreme left or extreme right...they still love their country! Cheers! https://www.yahoo.com/news/articles/respect-president-ilhan-omar-defended-181320319.html
  23. That video is done pretty damn well! That being said, you can still do that in the U.S....you can't do that in Russia, North Korea or China...that would probably get you arrested in India too. So we can make fun of Trump all we want...freedom of speech while at risk, still exists in the U.S. Cheers!
  24. A House of Dynamite on Netflix directed by Kathryn Bigelow was very good...recommend it! Cheers!
