If you run or help run a business of any sort, you know that hiring is one of the most important things you do. Good people can make or break any organization. Hire hard workers with great attitudes who are smart and fit your company culture, and your likelihood of success skyrockets. Conversely, hire too many lazy malcontents with bad character who are always looking for ways to avoid as much actual work as possible, and you’ll be out of business quicker than Anthony Scaramucci’s stint at the Trump White House. Obviously, exercising discretion in your hiring practices doesn’t mean...

Biden wants to suspend the federal gas tax (18 cents per gallon) for three months (between now and the mid-term elections). It looks like a plan to stop trying to force voters to buy electric vehicles until the election is over, but when the election is over, the taxes and push for electric vehicles will be restored. Senate Republicans will be pushed to cooperate, but if they don’t, it is a sure bet that they will be accused of supporting higher taxes, hurting the poor,...
