QuestionerDo you worry that some of your key operating and investing managers might leave for more lucrative opportunities once they realize they're working for one of their peers instead of a legend?
WarrenI think that I would say I virtually know that the successor we have in mind will not be the kind that will turn off our managers because that the manager is in mind as a successor in mind has got the culture as deeply embedded in as I do. They would not, our managers would not, I don't think it would be a question of leaving for more lucrative jobs. I think it would be because they love the kind of environment in which they exist. And if that environment didn't exist, it wouldn't be a question of whether the alternative was more lucrative. Many of them, a majority, could retire. It wouldn't need to work at all. They're only going to work if it's more fun for them to work than to do anything. else you know in the world because they've got the money to leave in the great many cases the conditions it's the same reason i work i mean i'm in i'm 81 and i am doing what i find the most enjoyable thing to do in the world and there are a couple reasons for that i get to paint my own painting and i you know i i have a lot of fun uh working with the people i work and our managers work for the same reason they they do get to paint their own paintings And my successor will understand that just as well as I do. And there would be a lot of people that might very well manage other companies that I think if stuck in my position, would lose a fair number of managers. They just have a different style, and our managers don't need that style.
