Investment In The Small Business Community
Virtually every large producing firm in the U.S. started as a small business, usually in a home or garage, financed by the personal savings of the entrepreneur, and family and friends. Microsoft and Amazon come to mind. Most starts, of course, will not replicate those growth experiences. But drive down the Main Street of any U.S. city and you will pass the storefronts of America's largest employer – small business. Investment comes in two forms: time and money. Both are in short supply but necessary for a successful small business. Entrepreneurs work long hours, which is necessary to efficiently employ the capital available. Depending on the industry of the business, buildings are needed, as well as a wide variety of physical capital. A dishwasher is critical for a restaurant but not for a construction firm. The quality of the equipment and management impact the productivity of the employees, which directly affects unit labor costs. And labor costs are, for most firms, the largest item in the P&L. It's hard to discern any trend in capital spending; the 2008 recession clearly tanked investment spending, as have all recessions. Clearly, the fear associated with Y2K drove the highest levels of investment spending in the last 50 years, which fell sharply after we all saw what actually happened (which was not much). Investment spending picked up around 2016 but hit a wall with Covid, and has been subdued since. Actual Capital Outlays. NFIB Small Business Economic Trends. April 2025. Reporting on their most recent outlays, there appears to be little variation between 2019 and 2025 in the type of specific investments in capital equipment. Most expenditures are paid for in the purchase period, not financed. Vehicles and equipment dominated the shopping list, although taken together, facilities expenditures were almost as frequent as vehicle purchases. Capital Expenditures. NFIB Small Business Economic Trends. There was a lot of inflation at the end of the 2019-2025 period. However, there is not much evidence of it in the size of expenditures, other than a shift from outlays below $10k to the $10k-$50k category. They buy what they need to run their business and figure out ways to absorb higher costs. Apparently, most small business borrowing is for cash flow management, not for the financing of major equipment and facilities purchases. Expenditure Spending. NFIB Small Business Economic Trends. Employees get paid by the hour of work provided, delivering variable amounts of value. Owners are compensated in the bottom line of the P&L. Owners don't 'punch a clock,' they just work. They are the most valuable asset of the firm. Their focus too often is diverted by mandated compliance activities of dubious value. Their investment of time is critical to the success of the firm, and regulators should avoid unnecessarily diverting their attention from their main job – building a successful business.

Anker USB-C Charger Is Going for Peanuts on Amazon, Smaller Than a MacBook Charger but Just as Powerful
You always need a way to charge up your laptop, so do it without paying an exorbitant fee. Can't find your MacBook charger brick? Or maybe the one you have is so decrepit that you know it's time to get another one. Whatever the case may be, sometimes you need to spring for a new brick so you can make sure your computer is charged up for whenever you need it. But that doesn't mean having to buy directly from Apple and spending an arm and a leg. Not when companies like Anker exist, which can deliver some fantastic quality without you having to save enough money to 'maybe' get a charging brick that actually works with your computer. See at Amazon If you want to see what Anker has to offer, head to Amazon to get the Anker MacBook Charger, which is on sale right now for just $24, down from its usual price of $30, that's a discount of 20%. A reliable charger that you can take anywhere This isn't just another wall brick. Anker is a name that's built a reputation for reliability, and this compact little charger delivers. It supports up to 30W of fast-charging power via USB-C, which means it can charge everything from your smartphone to your earbuds, and even smaller laptops or tablets, without wasting your time. For context, you can get up to 3x faster charging compared to the old-school 5W cubes still kicking around in junk drawers everywhere. You can take this charger anywhere, too, and it's perfect for slipping into a pocket, purse, or tech organizer without the prongs catching on everything. And because it's so small, it's perfect for travel, especially if you're someone who prefers to carry light but still wants fast charging on the go. Of course, safety's part of the package, too. This Anker model includes the brand's MultiProtect safety system, which guards against overheating, overcharging, and other issues that could fry your gear or ruin your day. And it's a heck of a lot more convenient than juggling multiple slow or outdated chargers for all your devices. Plus, It even comes with a 5-foot USB-C to USB-C cable, so you don't need to hunt for a compatible cord or spend more money just to use it. So if your current charger has seen better days or you just want something faster or more efficient, this Anker option is one you'll want to pick up. It's just $24, which is a pretty insane price, and you can get as many as you need. Grab some and leave them where you need them most. See at Amazon

CUPW Rally: Canada's Not For Sale; Neither Is Our Postal Service
SCARBOROUGH, Ontario, May 30, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- WHAT: Rally to keep the national postal service public PM Carney's long-term plans for Canada Post are clearer than ever: privatize it and strip it for parts. But who will buy Canada's postal service? Amazon? Some other US company? Postal workers and their trade union allies are demanding that our postal service remain a public service. We'll do so at a processing plant, surrounded on all three sides by new Amazon facilities. WHO: Canadian Union of Postal Workers (CUPW) WHEN: May 31, 2025, 12 p.m. - 3 p.m. WHERE: Albert Jackson Processing Plant1395 Tapscott RdScarborough, ONM1X 0C7 WHY: The Liberal government illegally and unconstitutionally imposed back-to-work orders on postal workers through the CIRB The Liberals also initiated an industrial inquiry, resulting in the May 16th 'Kaplan Report'. The Kaplan Report ignores worker solutions and recommends sweeping cuts to the vital public service, and sets the stage for layoffs, service cuts, and privatization down the line. While the Liberals said they would defend Canadians from American threats during the election, they are setting the stage to sell Canada Post off to someone like billionaire Trump ally Jeff Bezos' Amazon. Competing with U.S. e-commerce giants shouldn't mean lower standards. Workers deserve fair treatment, and Canadians deserve reliable, to-the-door service! Canada Post can play a key role in strengthening Canada's economy in the face of uncertainty, offer much needed new services like senior check-ins, postal banking, and community hubs, and bring new revenue to the public post office.
