Ted, from the article:

> Buffett built Omaha, Nebraska-based Berkshire into a $200 billion provider of insurance, energy and luxury goods and services over four decades. The company cut about 20,000 jobs last year as demand for its products declined.

How come you're not criticizing Buffett for cutting jobs?

>> Berkshire gained $395, or 0.3 percent, to $124,372 at 12:48 p.m. in New York Stock Exchange composite trading.

Why doesn't this filthy rich bastard split Berkshire, say 1000:1, so some of us poor people could afford to buy a few hundred shares?

Kind of elitist, don't you think?
