What Buffett didn't say, & wouldn't say because he's a gentleman, is he became aware of Gate's detestable morals???

I've admired Buffett forever.

I have a story about Falcon, kind-of referred to in the story. But now a Falcon Rocket. My youngest grandson, turned 3 in March, became enamored by rocketships after my son, his dad, showed him some pics & YouTube views of some. He especially loved the Falcon Rocket. One day my DIL picked my grandson up from preschool & teacher took her aside & said he had been saying the "F" word all day, telling everyone his daddy taught it to him! DIL asked for an example... teacher said he was building rockets w/ Duplos & blocks, telling everyone "This is a F**n rocket!" ... seems like a 3 year old has trouble pronouncing "L's". 🤣 That night they helped him practice some "L" words... 🤣🤣💖🥰

It’s looking like Melinda French Gates and MacKenzie Scott, Bezos’ ex, took Carnegie’s philosophy to heart insofar as their giving is concerned. As for being able to give everything away, it’s almost impossible to do unless they cash out and keep their billions from creating even more billions.

Maya Merhige’s story was fascinating. To make that decision at the age when most teens are beginning to look at boys and be in the In Crowd of choice, was one thing. But to decide on endurance swimming under some of the most challenging conditions possible was another all together. I can only wish her well and how she makes it into full adulthood safely.
