Buffett and the Forever Fund

Often reference is made to the fact that the RRs have fewer employees than before. They now hire private contractors, to do many jobs that were previously done by their own employees. Large construction equipment owned by the RRs and by the contractors does the work that earlier required several people to accomplish. The large equipment; does not suffer personal injury and the costs of employee benefits furnished by the contractors, such as retirement and unemployment are not as burdensome. Fewer people now but the work does get done. Check the track record.
