WASHINGTON, D.C. -- Small-business owners are highly engaged in the 2020 presidential election campaign, as 60% say they are paying "a lot" and 30% "some" attention to it. With near unanimity, they say they are likely to vote in the general election. Sixty percent approve of the job that Donald Trump is doing as president, and 52% think their business would be better off if he is reelected.
Most small-business owners rate the financial condition of their business positively -- 56% say it is "excellent" and 38% "good" -- and 69% report that their business benefited from the 2017 tax reform law. More than seven in 10 say they reinvested over one-quarter of the savings that resulted from the tax law in their business.

Thai Soldier in Mass Shooting Had Business Clash With His Commander - The New York Times
KORAT, Thailand — Fellow soldiers described him as quiet and affable, a skilled marksman who liked to play soccer. But people who knew Jakrapanth Thomma also knew this: He had a deep-seated grudge against his superior officer, a colonel, and the colonel's mother-in-law, believing that the pair had cheated him in a land deal.
As a soldier, the gunman was a small part of one of Thailand's most powerful institutions, which is heavily involved in both politics and business. For some, joining the military is a means to power and wealth, and many high-ranking officers have their own side businesses in addition to their official duties.
