Loads instantly, looks fine on mobile, the thing(s) you are probably interested in are linked right from the front page. As usual, Buffet is onto something here.
I'm burying this submission despite the home team's love of plain-text websites, because its title is baity and the discussion is unsubstantive and unlikely to improve.
Another one I found amusing was the website of Jump Trading[1], an HFT firm. It's minimalist in a different way: there's very little content and, at first, I couldn't even find any links at all...
Now check what the website prominently linked to looks like: WWW.GEICO.COM
The insurance industry is currently in a fever pitch over "Digital Business," "IoT," "Wearables," "Disruption," "Millennials," "Big Data," "Social Media," "FinTech/Insurtech startups" ... Executives in blue suits, who in better times would have prided themselves in not knowing how to type, are falling over themselves trying to eek out 1% organic growth by trying to understand this whole Internet thing that's been all the rage lately.
Would they make more money with the latest Web 3.0 React SPA website that takes over your scroll wheel and loads megabytes of stocks photos showing happy rich people?
In their mind at least the prohibition does not apply to some of their other web properties some of which my contain links to this site but do allow to be linked from other third-party websites?
I wish more websites took this approach, especially news and information sites, I'm tired of pullng terabytes of pointless js and images just to skim a bad article behind clickbait.
Mind he takes a different approach behind the Berkshire Activewear link.

Stocks will still allow themselves to be bought by BSHW.
How did this make it to the front page? grin
One thing I've noticed over the years is that a pretty design has very little correlation with the size, success, or market share of a company.

The median webpage size is in the order or some 2MB

"linking to this website without written permission is prohibited."
I wonder what how the lawyer who wrote that expected people to navigate to the site.
It doesn't say the written permission has to be theirs.
