POWIP Piece of Work In Progress – Former Abode of Dan Collins

POWIP ALERT – Dan is a Poor Mushroom-Picker

Hit the tip jar.Because Dan is poor. Also, if you haven't heard: Dan is poor. Because Dan is poor, you should hit the tip jar.

Political analysis to cover the poor Dan tip jar contributions - we are well and truly fucked.

It works like this: businesses hire people when there seems to be a good opportunity to add a person or two or 3 thousand and by so doing net more money despite the additional payroll.

Likewise, businesses invest in capital expenditures when it seems that ramping up will net more cash in the aggregate.

In normal times, business decision-makers are most concerned with the marketplace, their competitors, opportunity, and pulling the trigger at the appropriate time. In normal times, one can expect government to do bone-headed shit. But it is usually predictable bone-headed shit that can be more or less anticipated.

These days, however, it seems government has decided to become unpredictable - hmmmm - governed by whimsy. Now this is terrifying to business owners, who employ people and buy shit that other business that employ other people make.

So, is it any wonder that businesses refuse to spend the money they have in the manner they would normally spend it?

Moral of the story - never, ever, elect a POTUS who a) knows nothing about private enterprise, b) has contempt for the working people who comprise small business, c) has never had to worry about making payroll, d) doesnt even have a modicum of theoretical knowledge regarding the reality of how jobs are created.

PS What do you get when you cross a Dan and an octopus?

Also, this splains Dan's loooooowly state.
