I employ 72 people across my different businesses and I hired 41 of them since the start of 2022. But, the news is currently making us believe the sky is falling because big tech has laid of 50,000 people amongst several hundred million Americans.

I know lots of people who own small businesses and they all have been hiring like crazy this year. It makes me really wonder what all the negativity around the economy is really about?

One of the businesses I own is a small coffee shop that serves food and our costs for ingredients have gone way down since last year due to prices dropping across the board. Gas is staying low as well which helps.

I know there is some inflation and other issues, but I feel like sometimes we need to celebrate the win.
