“To me, the answer to anyone agitating for change is a simple one. Why mess with a good thing?”

A growing number of people in society wish to use enterprises like Berkshire to promote political and social issues. And most boards meekly agree. I hope Berkshire resists the pressure after Buffett and Munger leave the scene. This is certainly not assured.

Yes, that's one of my biggest concerns about the post-Buffett era. I hope that Greg Abel (and others) have the clout to keep Berkshire the way it is.

Another wonderful piece. What a shame more boards don’t act honorably like Berkshire... So many proxy are longer than annual reports.
