I don't get it. Why is it ironic that his avatar is a double cheeseburger?
beats and beeps, I don't know where Buffett is from but I know that the state of California pays him huge amounts of money...if there is an earthquake, he's responsible for absorbing something like the 8-12th billion dollars of damages. So potentially 4 billion after the first 8.
We did a huge study for him on earthquakes and potential damages last quarter. |

| What's the bashing about Walmart for? They have everything you need plus groceries, and they're all cheaper. Some of you are pitiful if you are afraid of being judged by going to Walmart. Hell its almost a part of life now. You don't have to buy clothes there, but from shampoo to dog food, to tires, to kitchen , to etc. Grow up a little kids...;) |

it's more the problem that this massive corporation is taking buisness away from smaller locally (or even semi-locally!) owned buisnesses...the only reason walmart can offer such low prices is because they can exert a stranglehold on distributors that nobody else can even touch. One giant store serving the population is certainly not a good thing. thus, i support locally owned...even if it IS more expensive. |

Well, hi.

If I understood correctly, he is reinsuring the California Earthquake Authority. After 8 billion, limit 12.
That's really all your lil genius knows. :D |
