Warren Buffet really is a 100 billion dollar door to door salesman

I've always found it very funny that their first link is a GEICO ad. I think he sees the humor in that too, he's no stoic.

Edit: Just finished the letter and he sure is ever the salesman, closing the letter with "cousin" Jimmy Buffett's pontoon party boat, exclusive 10% discount for shareholders!

Basically every company has merch tho, albeit Berkshire's is decently priced, in-house (subsidiary) manufactured and prominently displayed.

Three first thematic examples I googled (conglomerate, railway, insurer).

Huh, this is the lowest priced merch Ive seen (the shirt is $7.50). I'm guessing they are selling them at minimal to no profit.

They all look like shit and don't match the simplicity that radiates from the company website.

This is so funny, I would not have noticed if you hadn't pointed it out.

That's a pretty good sell to me.

For the record, I happen to work for a Berkshire Hathaway company and Geico gives me good rates.
