Unity Over Division: Why Joe Biden Deserves Your Vote in November!

I cast my first vote at the age of nineteen in 2008, registering as an independent—a stance I embrace to this day with pride. This decision was significantly influenced by my grandfather, a staunch independent himself, who imparted wisdom that has since shaped my political perspective.

He advocated for a thorough evaluation of all candidates, urging a decision based on a comprehensive agreement with their values and policies. This philosophy of independence in political thought encourages a discerning and open-minded approach to voting, ensuring that choices are made based on conviction rather than allegiance.

Unveiling the Illusion: The Minimal Impact of Wages on Prices

I would like to present a slightly different approach in this entry, focusing on a topic within my area of expertise: business. With my MBA and a minor in economics during my undergraduate studies, coupled with my experience in successfully managing a multimillion-dollar business for the past sixteen years, I believe I can offer valuable insights. The motivation behind this write-up, as well as an upcoming entry, stems from my observation of the abundance of misinformation surrounding specific business practices. It is crucial to rectify these inaccuracies and provide accurate information to the business community. The topic I intend to explore is the correlation between the minimum wage, the cost of doing business, and potential price hikes. It is crucial to debunk the common misconception that higher wages invariably lead to increased prices.
