The first time a business leader tells you she is holding off on investing because she is scared about the future, you dismiss it as anecdote. But over the past few years, I’ve had hundreds of such conversations.
Now I don't doubt that business leaders say that, and I don't doubt that some of them actually believe it, but I'll bet that if demand returned in a big way, these people would invest and hire workers so fast your head would spin -- all the while still complaining about the "uncertain" future.
I have some news for these people: the future has always been uncertain and it always will be.
