“Do you suppose he’s the only CEO who is thinking like this?”
I think so.
Anecdotally, I cite one of my mom’s friends. Her husband, nor semi-retired, is pretty plugged into the Minnesota business community.
Apparently, a lot of businesses (how many? - I’m not sure) in Minnesota are holding back in terms of hiring or doing much of anything until they know how the elections will shake out.
We are back in MN for two weeks visiting (moved to Wyoming from MN late last year).
Hubby knows a lot of people --- and most of the business guys he knows here in MN are saying exactly the same thing, no expansion, no hiring, nothing, until they know the fate of the election (fate of the country).
Many have said to him, if zero is reelected, they will probably close up shop and retire ---- they know that will leave many people unemployed, but they just cannot afford the new taxes & regulations.
