QuestionerMy question is about jobs coming back to the U.S. I notice a number of companies have started to bring jobs back here. Is Berkshire Hathaway looking at doing that for any job they've shipped out of the United States?
WarrenWell, I have to finish my fudge here. I would say that of the 200, the number of jobs we have is listed in the back of the report. I think it's about 270,000, 815,000. at year end. I'm just trying to think we probably, I don't think we have more than 15,000 on the outside of those 270 outside the United States. So as I put in the annual report, you know, we invested in plant and equipment, not in stocks, but in equipment and not in acquisitions over $8 billion last year. And 95% or so that was in the United States. So we don't really have. have a lot around the world. I would say that it's extremely likely that 10 years from now, when you look at the breakdown of our employees, that we have many, many more employees, you know, maybe hundreds of thousands of more employees. And some of those will be outside this country, but most of them will be in the country in this country. We find all there's lots of opportunity in the United States. There is no shortage of opportunity. You know, that 8.2 billion or whatever it was last year, you know, we loved putting money out and we'll put out more this year and this is I mean it's a real land of opportunity that's not to knock opportunities elsewhere but but we find lots of things to do that make a we think make a lot of a lot of sense in this country
CharlieCharlie you can't bring a lot back if it never left that's the long version of my answer that
