Buffet and the Welch Scale - What's the Difference?

i think buffet has this portfolio of sins, from his junk food companies to his trailer parks that er charging exorbitant interest rates to low income americans. I think he still tries to save face and and be polite about it all. There's a lot more transparency about exactly what is going on inside berkshire's financial assets. Take jack welch out of the picture, and doesn't all the stuff happen anyway? Is he just sort of like the biggest stand in for all this? The easiest way to tell the story, or did he make this all possible?
