if the businessman in the OP is not hiring despite increasing demand, he's risking failure. Someone can come along with an equal product (or expand into his territory) and because they do hire despite the risk, theyll have better service, quicker turnaround on orders etc. He's risking losing his customers because he is risking inadequate service.

Here's an idea for the businessman. Suck it up. Just like the rest of America has done for the past 3 years. Either that or when someone else comes along who is willing to risk, you're gonna get replaced.

Personally, I am doubting his demand is up that much (after all it could be up .01% and it would still be up). Otherwise he would be FORCED to hire out of necessity (pretty simple logic). Its all just businessman smoke and mirrors for fewer taxes/regulations and dumping the burden on the lower class.

When a company can't cope with demand, that news can spread pretty fast in the business world. This can have serious consequences as clients think that in order to serve as many clients as possible despite lacking resources the supplier will economize on quality.
Thats not how it works. If I get a temporary bump in business, I dont rush out and hire a full time employee to help fufill a need which might last a few weeks.

Indeed. It's not as if it's a new phenomenon in the slightest.

"How can I buy another company truck when I don't know the cost of gas tomorrow?"

It pretty much boils down to "How can I make this investment if I'm not guaranteed a return?", and the answer is, of course, that there's no such thing as a guaranteed return in business. Sell your business, put the money in the bank - that's as close to a guaranteed return as you'll get.

If you want to be successful you take calculated and sound risks...I myself spent 3 years researching global currencies before I dropped one penny on anything....you don't just throw money at anything and hope like hell you make a profit...that is what gamblers do....

the business in the OP is basically saying that how can he make any kind of investment today if he have no clue if that investment going to cost him more tomorrow...he isn't saying that he isn't investing because he's afraid of failure...he's just not sure how much that investment is going to cost him tomorrow....for example...lets say he decides to expand his business by opening up a new store somewhere else... he calculates all the expenses and comes up with a final price today....what he is saying is that what if that final price changes tomorrow due to some asinine govt regulation?...Get it?..

its funny that you people expect businesses to absorb any and all expenses that govt just throws out there....(and even when businesses manage to become a success through all the govt red tape B.S. you people still want to raise taxes further to level the "playing field" or "give back to society" or some other wealth envy crap)

if I was that economically ignorant of the most basic things like that, I too would be full of wealth envy and bitterness towards those who were successful..

Mocking Americans again are you, French boy? Be careful. This guy is in his 3rd incarnation. He now says he's in San Antonio but he's actually in rural France, where he apparently suffers under the delusion that he's an expert on economics.

That quote, in 25 words or less, is precisely why our economy is as dead as General Custer.

Toss in numerous fiscal time bombs within ObamaCare, including a 2019 whopper that will eradicate 90% of the salary increases of anyone who gets a 4% COLA raise every year from 2014-2018 as the subsidies vanish, and that's another reason not to hire anybody, as a recent article in IBD pointed out.
