I don't think he's a good guy. I also doubt that he'd send Christmas cards with references to El_Johns Dec 2013 #6
I get where you're coming from. But it is him. Archaic Dec 2013 #7
Hmm. I should concede, but how come his twitter account only has 4 posts? El_Johns Dec 2013 #8
Probably because he's not a socialite and doesn't have a PR team to do it. Archaic Dec 2013 #10
Buffett doesn't have a PR team.....? He's writing his own tweets? El_Johns Dec 2013 #11
I'm comparing him to the brands that have PR depts that post constantly. Archaic Dec 2013 #12

Go read up on what his son is doing. Pretzel_Warrior Dec 2013 #20
I already know what his son's doing. He's continuing the work begun by the Rockefeller Foundation, El_Johns Dec 2013 #21
Lol. Wait. I thought Cargill and ADM were doing that. Pretzel_Warrior Dec 2013 #22
No contradiction there. El_Johns Dec 2013 #25
His Wikipedia entry presents him a bit less ominously Pretzel_Warrior Dec 2013 #26
In the HuffPo piece, Buffet lays it out. The broad argument he makes is not objectionable. El_Johns Dec 2013 #27
I doubt Buffet has a PR team. He does his own taxes and as of a few years ago got his Wall St data okaawhatever Dec 2013 #17
I like him. He gives great talks to young people Pretzel_Warrior Dec 2013 #19
He has more than he needs. That is not integrity. seattledo Dec 2013 #29
