'THAT'S MORE OF A SPEECH THAN A QUESTION': Anti-Coca Cola protester interrupts Berkshire Hathaway's annual meeting
Yahoo Finance
After pointing out the motto "In God We Trust" printed on the US currency, the questioner, reading from a printed statement, suggested that Buffett's priorities put money over social considerations.
The questioner shifted to asking about the ethics of Coca Cola, in which Berkshire Hathaway holds a large share, likely in reference to ongoing concerns among activists about the soft drink giant's labor and water-use practices in emerging markets.
Charlie Munger began his reply by noting that the longer-than-average question was "more of a speech than a question," before Buffett briefly discussed his famous habit of drinking large amounts of the soft drink.
