Home Depot Co-Founder: 'What the hell does Biden know about economics?'

Yet another reason HD >>>>>> Lowe's

Home Depot co-founder and billionaire businessman Bernie Marcus isn't sure he would be able to create the home improvement chain today if he tried given onerous regulations on small businesses and a challenging economic backdrop.
"I don't think so," Marcus — a well-known proponent of free market capitalism and small businesses — said on a new edition of Yahoo Finance Presents. "I think if we had the regulations that we have today, Home Depot would be a chain of 12 stores. I just don't think we could have grown."
Marcus also had some choice words for politicians, the Biden administration, and notably the occupier of the Oval Office.
"Most of the people in Washington never ran a business," added Marcus, who is also the new author of Kick Up Some Dust: Lessons on Thinking Big, Giving Back, and Doing It Yourself. "You have a president that never worked a day in his life — never worked a day in his life. What the hell does he know about economics? But he sure spouts about it a lot."
quote:
Marcus reiterated that more needs to be done to empower small businesses.
"Running a business, hiring people, training people and being able to produce a product takes a certain skill and you have to understand that skill," Marcus added. "Just running a small pizza restaurant, for Christ's sakes, takes skill. And they're [small businesses] getting pummeled day to day. And we are fighting on a hill every day to beat some of these regulations. As some we win, some we lose. But there's nobody out there that really puts the time and effort into it."

Even if he’s flawed, at least Trump had business sense that DC is missing.

Home Depot is all in on the anti-white wokeness stuff. That is an endorsement of democrat policies. I don't care what comes out of this hypocritical piece of shite's mouth. Actions speak louder than words.

He ran the country like a business, and we were all far better off for it. Every single one of us.

Why is he a hypocritical piece of shite?
You know co-founder status doesn't mean he is Forever King of Home Depot? He retired from Home Depot 20 years ago.
He publicly supported Trump in 2016 and donated millions to his campaign.

Looking at their corporate page, it appears Marcus and Ken Langone (who’s also based), no longer have any involvement with the company.

He is one of the best philanthropists that the state of Georgia has ever known. Great, great man.

Donald Trump is the best President in my lifetime. That includes Ronald Reagan.

None of them have enough sense to know which end of the hammer to use.

True, but Marcus has zero to do with that.

co-founder
Hes not wrong,
but all companies go to shite when others run them. He should hit home on that. All these big corporate fricks that havent worked a day in their life - like him - screw us all.
Original product and brand diminishes at a point. Including politics and economics at both micro and macro levels.

Biden learned his economics from his dad. The class was held every day around the kitchen table.

Joe learned pedophilia all on his own, I suppose.
