The global minimum tax on businesses will kill them all off.
Who wants to start or sustain a business under this nonsense.

Where? Small business is BOOMING in my State. There is a disconnect in this Country. The government wants to spend trillions of dollars to save the economy.. There is nothing to save in a lot of States. We are doing fine. It will only make things worse.

This past year-plus has been the DemocRATS/Deep State’s version of DESTRUCTION OF THE KULAK CLASS. They do not want independent minds that think for themselves.

Normally, I’m all-in when it comes to Mother Government turning back control to the STATES to do the Right Thing during this Sham-Demic.

Sadly, ALL Blue States and blue enclaves in Red States totally screwed this up for all of us.

Party & Power over Liberty & Freedom.

This was a huge and EXPENSIVE lesson to learn. :(

P.S. Let me mention again how HAPPY I am to be Retired and not to have these business worries, today. Managing a business during the, ‘0bama Reign of Error’ was hard enough!

Is there a correlation between Shut Down States ran by Democrats as opposed to open States ran by Republicans?? Shouldn’t that be a Major part of this equation?

I see signs at McDonald’s offering $15.00 an hour, and Costco is paying $16.00 to start. Lots of mom & pop stores and restaurants offering $15.00 to 17.00 an hour to start.

Those wages are the market reality and to compete for workers, small businesses will have to offer the same pay scale.

Some expressed worries about whether to impose mandatory masking policies and other precautions since a significant slice of the population remains unvaxxed.


At this point, pretty much everyone who wants to be vaccinated has been. For good or bad, it’s on them. No more need for masks even if they did effectively stop the spread.

I’m the last three months, I have been to five states and at least ten big cities and in every one of those businesses, small and large are hiring.

don’t worry- minority owned businesses are getting big handouts from Zhao Biden, so only whitey is getting screwed.

The government is paying people more to stay at home than to work, with money it doesn’t have. What could possibly go wrong with that? The gravy train is ending in a lot of states, but a number of blue states haven’t shut off the spigot yet.

When I first started reading Zero hedge I thought they were telling me what was going on. As time passed I saw them for the Gloom and Doom site, I could not put any faith in what they were writing. So I now rarely read them.

A restaurateur acquaintance who is having difficulty restaffing told me that several of his servers have offered to return to work, provided they were paid off the books so that they could continue to collect their unemployment benefits and governmental subsidies. As my sainted grandmother used to say, "America Bella!"

Lots of talk on the left about liveable wages.

They talk about things like trades etc making what they make, what’s wrong with paying retail workers or fast food workers something closer, then everyone would make better money.

I would never attempt to explain economics to people like that, it would be a wasted effort.
