@nfib_ma No question. And never use NYC as a model. Record restaurant failures happening there.

No where in the USA are #smallbiz premiums higher than in MA. Many of these Main St employers are looking at $50K family premiums next year, far above the $28K nat'l #'s in this study.
Corporate America is feeling the health cost squeeze. The average family plan rose 5% to more than $28,000, according to a KFF survey, with worker costs rising 9% https://t.co/ODOa9Q0RNQ via @WSJ

Good morning from Andrews airbase outside Washington D.C. We are about three dozen passengers headed to Guantánamo Bay, a few of us bound for next week’s pretrial hearings in the USS Cole case. The judge, lawyers, support staff are already there. https://t.co/oTndPpNfP1

Watch what they do not what they say…

Charlie Scharf, CEO of Wells Fargo:

“While economic uncertainty exists and consumer sentiment remains mixed, our data shows that our consumer and business customers are doing well.
Consumers are spending more, loan delinquencies are low, and deposit and investment balances have grown. Businesses continue to have strong balance sheets and losses remain low. While higher interest rates, higher oil prices and persistent inflation create risks to the economy, strong positive forces such as the investment in AI infrastructure, high employment levels and consistent wage growth continue to outweigh the risks.”

I spent Saturday at the United States Naval Academy and it was the greatest football experience of my life!
