    Russia invades Ukraine

    Do you guys think this will have a ripple affect on this industry? Being that this war will take inflation to a new high.
    Also will lenders be scaling back just to see what happens with the economy?

    Would love opinions on this matter.

    Not sure about MCA capital. Bank, ABL, and factoring capital is prevalent and competition is fierce. Availability of capital is not the problem. Owners being hesitant because of uncertainty will be the problem.

    Absolutely, I'm sure Biden and his multitude of wonderful decisions/behavior have nothing to do with the fact that Putin decided to take action NOW on what he has wanted to do for many many years.

    Must just be some sort of coincidence or something.

    LMFAO

    Cool story bro, how much are you paying for gas right now?

    Don't worry, it will definitely only go up from here...

    The only stupid people in the room is those that voted for Dementia Joe ! or maybe just to young to know Dementia Joe's political background.
    We are in for at least 3 more rough years unless the House and-or Senate changes power structure.

    Never a good outcome if one party has total control of Government - history shows a split Government works best
    Go back as recently as Clinton's 2nd term

    Way to turn a complicated international conflict into a partisan USA-centric argument everyone.

    Joshbr9 special for sure. Would probably make the same argument and say inflaiton and gas prices are not Biden's/Democrats fault either. Liberal Logic at its finest

    Have republicans ever blamed republicans for anything? Have democrats ever taken upon themselves the blame? Has Trump ever taken responsibility for something that didn't work?

    I'll put forward the following idea: Maybe Putin went crazy because he was in isolation from COVID for 2 years?

    And it doesn't help you win anything with an ad hominem like "liberal logic at its finest." You may disagree, but just because it's wrong logic doesn't make it "liberal." You don't have to call names, just disagree with the policies.

    And now, what's the "logic" behind Biden being in control the whole world? He's not doing a great job, but this has way more to do with Putin than it does with Biden.

    Finally, let's ask BEFORE it starts? What happens when this whole thing blows over? Is it Biden's win, or we focus only on the faults?

    **I definitely did NOT vote for Biden, and would definitely vote for DeSantis if he runs. I just don't like name calling or gaslighting, I've been through too much of that in my life.

    id disagree with the logic part because 'liberal logic' / liberal thinking is truly remarkable to me. 'Defund Police' motto for 2+ years causing crime rising, cops quitting at all time highs and murder rate to be all time highs but their 'logic' was "lets allocate funds elsewhere and do 'bail reform' so when you commit a major crime you get out the next day so go commit more crimes. Or Lets end fracking and being energy independent by buying oil from our enemies to supply our country. We will buy it instead of producing it and selling our excess which would keep gas prices low and inflation down since everything runs on energy (trucks, planes, buildings, etc). Another good 'liberal logic' is John Kerry worrying about the war calling gas / global problems to the air (not so much the war itself but he worried about the gas) but will travel in private planes. Another great one if you watched Don Lemon a few weeks ago and he mentioned how gas prices came down 6 cents from the high at the times and he said 'ahhh some good news, prices are easing at the pump and are down 6 cents in the last week". Yet gas was under $2 2+ years ago and his 6 cent talk was 3.60 to 3.54. I can go on but Liberal logic is truly special. Trump and Republicans have been blamed for a ton, some incorrectly so and others they were wrong but if inflation, the War, Mandates, crime, and the economy that are all happening right now and Trump was president, i think he would be on his 5th impeachment trial and the country would be up in arms (On the left/main stream media) because they would think the country is in ruin but since its a Biden/Harris admin, it 'no big deal' and 'learn to live with it' mentality.

    Another interesting twist to this: Interest rates in Russia just shot up to 20%. With a negative interest rate environment in some European Countries, you may see some friends of Russia deploy capital to companies where they feel comfortable.

    Most liberals were not for defund the police, they were just the loudest. Fracking ended because the prices of oil went down. John Kerry is an outright hypocrite, but so are many republicans who look at the white house raid as "peaceful protesting." Trump was impeached twice for a reason, don't assume that "it's not fair, Biden wasn't impeached yet." Yes, most liberal logic is dumb, but don't put all liberals in the same basket. It's the same fallacy of blaming all republicans for Trump.

    Liberal logic is "big government will save us." Republicans campaign and say "government doesn't work", then get elected and prove it.

    Liberal logic is based on the concept that you can redefine and ignore boundaries, such as defund the police and "transitioned" men playing women's sports. You see the fringe growing towards that now and it is the logical extension, but don't ignore your own responsibility to keep yourself at check, or that anything that negative said against a republican or anything that a liberal does is automatically "liberal logic."

    Be careful if the war ends quickly.

    I hope the war ends quickly. If it does, it will not be because of Biden/Harris. The Ukrainian President is in the city with his staff. Joe Biden destroyed Americas energy independence and our ability to export energy to our European allies. Russia’s invasion and war against Ukraine would’ve never happened under President Donald J Trump. It happened under Biden‘s weak leadership. Do I expect Biden or Trump if he was Presdient to be on the front lines like The Ukrainian President if the US ever got invaded? No. But our current admin I am sure will take responsibility if the war ends quickly but wont take responsibility for it starting. More Liberal Logic at its finest.

    And in terms of Republicans and Democrats. I feel this analogy works best - 'You feed a man a fish and he eats for a day. You teach a man to fish he eats for a lifetime' . Democrats want to give you a free handout (healthcare, free entry to the country, promises they cannot deliver etc) then forget about you. Republicans want to teach you to fish, might be harder, take time and not as popular but you survive on your own and learn to live life on your own.

    If the war ends, it likely won't be due to Biden, I agree (but that's to be seen). But how can you know he wouldn't have done it under Trump? He didn't, but that doesn't mean he wouldn't have. You have the power of prophecy?

    Trump already took credit for "not" letting it happen and will surely take credit when it ends also, that's what he does. It's called gaslighting. Putin's doing it also. You blame everyone for being bad for having big hands because your hands are small.

    Why do you label those two types of people as "Democrats" and "Republicans"? That's "socialism" and "capitalism." You might want to think that all democrats are socialists (they're not), and all republicans are capitalists (they're not). The differences are nuanced, don't play identity politics. The TRUTH is that everyone is out for themselves, and people don't care about you as much as you think they do. Socialists care about themselves and preserving their "feelings of equality" (which is biting off their nose to spite their face) until they get into power and then they only really care about themselves, and true capitalists don't give away their money or "care" about their workers - it's my money, I do what I want with it. A 100% free market creates monopolies, which everyone is against. In an ideal world they do, but in a world like ours workers had to unionize to get out of the sweat shops (and then get corrupted themselves....)

    Is Biden doing a bad job? Yes. There's a lot more to leadership that just being a democrat or a republican.
