Inflation concerns among small business owners remained at record highs this quarter, according to a quarterly poll conducted by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and MetLife released on Wednesday.

Lurking deep in the depths of alphabet agencies dotted around our nation’s capital is a network of bureaucrats and agency heads who possess incredible amounts of power. On a whim, with a guidance letter or a self-serving rule, they can ruin your livelihood and are the greatest internal threat to the survival of our system of self-government. This “Administrative State” is completely antithetical to the vision of our founders. It gives unelected bureaucrats the power to enact rules that have the full force and effect of law and that can affect individuals and entire industries. Do you remember voting for the chairman of the Consumer Product Safety Commission? Of course you don’t, because you didn’t. And, what is the CPSC? Among other goofy things they do, it’s the same organization behind the push to ban gas stoves, without any regard for families or restauranteurs who rely on their gas stoves to feed families. Not only are they detached from reality, nobody at the CPSC was … [Read more...] about SEN. ERIC SCHMITT: It’s Time To Dismantle The Deep State

Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin Many people come to therapy complaining about how waiting is just too hard for them. They may say things like: “I know I just have to wait for him to call like he says, but I still end up calling him first.” “If I could have just held out a little bit longer, that promotion would have been mine.” “I don’t understand why it would take so long, it’s just too frustrating.” While intellectually we may be aware of how good things brew in time, in practice we often struggle to sit back and let things fall into place. Anger, irritation, and frustration are a trio of negative emotions that contribute to the vicious cycle of hopelessness and increased impatience.

Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin Last fall, the top 250 executives of a major, global telecommunications company gathered together for a three-day leadership summit. The summit kicked off with a strong call to action by the CEO. Even with the company’s growth, strong performance, and market dominance, the CEO exhorted the leaders gathered in front of him to work harder and to do even better.
