> Still, end of an era.

That is an enormous understatement. At 94, Buffet has witnessed history and has represented a vision of betterment, a just society, and sound economic stewardship. These things were not and are not hallucinations.

But for many, it seems, the lessons about co-operation, stable economic growth. the sane application of democratic principles, and the rule of law must be learned again.

It's the end of an era bona fides and respect for truth and accountability as the structural integrity of democratic society.

Chocolate chips[1] were invented in 1937, when Buffet was 6yrs old, and commercialized as we know them today in 1941 when Buffet was 10.

He's literally older than chocolate chips!

My father is 98. His health has declined gradually but visibly over the last 10 years. He's taking a mouthful of pills each day to keep himself alive. However, he's able to get up, walk, use the bathroom, feed himself etc. He can remember things that happened 5 minutes ago, last week and in his childhood. He keeps up to date with all the family affairs, and watches the news. Also my mother (his wife) is still alive and healthy, and they don't hate each other.

That's more than most people can expect if they even make it to their late 80s.

Frankly I'm astonished at people like Warren Buffet and David Attenborough (a hero of mine).

I read the title and thought, about time, he's probably 80-something.

I really hope I could be productive at 90. Heck, I hope I'm productive at 70.

Must be a record: 94 years old and CEO of a publicly traded company.

It's the nominal end of a career spanning 4-5 eras

Munger was still going strong at 99, good genes both of them, i guess
