Have you noticed a difference in revenue in your business depending on which party is in office. Yes or no will do. We don't need to spark a party argument.

Wait? We can party in our office? No one told me that I wouldn't have retired.


I have nothing clever to put here.

Fur market probably does not mirror politics.

Last Admin, things were quiet, relatively, in Russia and Ukraine.
Suspect the fur market is a little unstable over there at the moment, impacting our market.

Same with China.

And with the current admins push to.limit access to public land....

Revenue and profit about the same but the prices I am charging now are ridiculous and I hate it. But it is what it is
I guess.

I'm embarrassed at what I'm having to charge to keep things going.

yes -- I think it has a lot more to do with whether the rural or the city is winning in my profession. Mine is very much tied to the ag community.

Years ago, not so much but the price of parts seemed to have doubled recently and like Warrior said, I'm embarrassed at some of the bills I give because of that.


There comes a point liberalism has gone too far, we're past that point.

Some party policies drive good revenue and spending in general with the masses. Hard times and inflation hits us all.

My business has done better every year no matter who was in political office.

I would go as far as to say if you've had trouble in business the last couple years you need to evaluate yourself and the decisions your making. Everyone I know has done excellent the past few years with finding/retaining employees being the limiting factor.

I do expect a downturn due to interest rate hikes but that was needed due to spending by both parties.

It depends on what business you're in. Prices at the pump have played a major part with many businesses.
