"I do agree with several things about Buffett though - the planes have got to go. Anyone that has done any basic demographic marketing studies will know that corporate planes and flashy displays of wealth turn off Gen X women in a huge way, even if they themselves are wealthy. And I hear Gen Y is even more like this - demographic marketing studies show they are a pragmatic planning lot that don't appeal to the hype of image - they see through it - they like Passats, they don't like computers looking industrial, and they are the "why?" people - they are anti-image. " This is reason enough NOT to get rid of the planes: the feminization of American business has gone far enough, what with the nonsense about Meyer-Briggs testing, about "team-building," about touchy-feely encounter rap sessions inside companies. Displaying wealth boldly may not be what the chicks say they like, but it's what they actually like. Witness their desire for diamonds, wealthy husbands, and overly expensive restaurant meals. Adopting the cant of the feministas will not help business compete. Time to kick ass and take names. --Tim May
