"Surely, he is a success, but what has he done lately?"
The very definition of success is that one does not any longer HAVE TO do anything, lately or otherwise.
and there it is...
What has he done lately? For one thing he (Berkshire-Hathaway) bought one of the largest plants here (NW Alabama) and closed it down. It was very productive and people who came down from the midwest plant taking over the work to learn how to do the work, said they did not understand why the work was being transferred to them. We had a very stable workforce because of lack of choice and work here; they had huge turnover and got more per hour.
Probably just stopping over in the midwest on their way overseas.
