Small Business Owners’ Expectations for the Future Fall to New 48-year Low
Breitbart ^ | 06.13.2022 | John Carney

Small business owners in America are feeling their gloomiest in nearly five decades, a survey released Tuesday morning showed.

The National Federation of Independent Business (NFIB) said its gauge of businesses expecting better business conditions over the next six months fell to the worst reading in the 48-year history of the survey. This measure’s previous all-time high was set in April.

Inflation continues to be a problem for small businesses with 28 percent of owners reporting it is their single most important problem in operating their business. That is below the 32 percent recorded in April, the highest reading since the fourth quarter of 1980.

I am one of those businesses that survived Tim Walz’s lock down in Minnesota. I was not forced to lockdown (”essential” business what ever that means) but I might as well have because my essential customers were either out of work, or to scared to spend money on anything they didn’t have to.

will I survive obama part 3?

maybe.

In the weeks after Trump won in 2016, both business and consumer confidence skyrocketed.

I changed my whole business model very quickly in the early days of the COVID mess. It was all driven by the newly-discovered reality that a mayor or governor could shut my business down without any recourse or due process.

1. I moved to another state.

2. I closed my office and built an office into my new home.

3. I terminated my employees (this was driven by the stupid vaccine mandates imposed by some of my clients) and now only hire contractors.

I have very little optimism for the future in my business, even though 2021 was my best year ever.

I sell used cars and parts. State won’t let dealers sell on residential property

I’d love to move.

Roots are to deep and 200+ cars and parts cars are not easy to move.

Hurricane Biden is nationwide.

Great job, Democrat Party Cabal, for stealing the election and gurneying 79-year-old, senile Sleepy Joe into the Oval Office. That's why I always say that absolutely everyone should vote Democrat. Wake Up, Sleepy Joe, Wake Up!

You’re in a tough spot. That business must be booming these days, though. I can’t even find a decent used car anywhere at a reasonable price.

Was. Now no one has any money and the banks have puckered up.

The used part business is picking up. You either can’t get or can’t afford the new parts you need nowadays.
