Buffet's retiring!

December 28th, 2025 at 08:51 am

His last day at work will be this December 31.  Truly the end of an era.

Bonus topic, because I don't think it's worth making a separate entry for it:  I noticed how a lot of people are calling luxuries "Billionaire's ... [insert luxury item name here]".  I totally understand why most people don't think the term "millionaire" has the same shock value as before, but what if someone has $999 million?  They are still technically a millionaire, but that's a lot of millions.

    I always had a great deal of respect for Warren Buffet. In fact, he wrote an outstanding paper to help SEC attorneys write in "plain English," and I referred to it often in my work as a writer.

    Agreed, 999 million is a lot. But like everything, society uses and abuses words without thinking.

    Warren Buffet was truly a success story. His son, Howard, lives in Decatur, Illinois (at least part of the time) and has been very generous to the community. He will not fund things if people ask, but looks for things that he can help with that can be self sustaining once it gets started. He created the Devon Theatre (named for his wife) and it is quite the successful venue. But the thing is, he made sure it was built in such a way and started in such a way that it could grow and continue. He just didn't throw money at it and let it sink or swim.
