Business world congratulates Biden, Harris - The Washington Post
The Democratic ticket claimed the White House on Saturday after Pennsylvania announced its 20 electoral votes would go to Biden, propelling him above the 270 needed to defeat President Trump. The outcome, as well as vaccine developments on the coronavirus front, revved up global markets. The Dow Jones industrial average soared nearly 1,600 points at the opening bell.
Investors largely dismissed Trump's refusal to concede. Last week, as vote-counting dragged on, investors appeared to price in a Biden victory and a Republican-held Senate , a dynamic that analysts say could jump-start stimulus talks and lower the risk of Biden ushering new taxes. The S&P 500 had its best week since April.

Business Leaders, Drawn Into Fray by Trump, May Step Back Under Biden - The New York Times
Since President Trump took office, corporate America has been thrust into the culture wars like never before. The atmosphere would probably be different with a Biden administration.

From the moment President Trump took office, big businesses were thrust into the culture wars like never before.
But Mr. Trump's extreme policies on things as far-flung as immigration and climate change — and the ensuing outrage of employees and customers — made it nearly impossible for big corporations to avoid entering the political fray. Even if they had tried to stay on the sidelines, Mr. Trump wouldn't let them, as he routinely called for boycotts of companies that he felt had crossed him.

House gets down to business of budgeting - The Boston Globe
The governor has proposed a so-called accelerated sales tax before. But this time, it seems, legislators are listening.
It could be because the current state budget shortfall is pushing both the Baker administration and the House Ways and Means Committee to try almost anything to raise revenue. As the House opens debate on its version of the state budget Tuesday, it looks ready to embrace this source of quick cash.
"I think it's one of those 'break glass in case of emergency' kind of conversations, and this is obviously a fiscal emergency in terms of what we're dealing with, so we think that it's the appropriate year to be doing this," House Ways and Means chairman Aaron Michlewitz said at a news conference to announce the budget last week.
