Want some more buffett at the buffet? Buffett owns Burlington Northern Santa Fe railroad, and “hosts” major amtrak routes-—that is to say amtrak has to rent the rail lines from them, at significant cost because freight has priority over passenger.
Amtrak being all stock held by US gov. this means US gov pays BNSF for the rail lines— so buffett is like a defense contractor.

Cannot stand this bs artist. Ivan Boesky was at least a fully admitted pirate. Nothing buffett does is really brilliant-he sits on the boards of the companies he trades... sweet cook up of the books.

God please forgive me for saying this, but the good news is both Buffet & $oros are well past 80 so ,10 years max and the world is shut of them.
