Quite a few years ago now, Senator George McGovern lost his presidential bid and retired from the Senate. He bought and managed a Connecticut hotel. He famously wrote a 1992 op ed piece for the Wall Street Journal stating how difficult it was to manage the hotel. In the article McGovern lamented that had he known the challenges of running a business he would not have promoted so many left-leaning policies that made running a business more difficult. Every time I go into a restaurant these days I try to appreciate the difficulty of managing that enterprise.

Fascinating! I never knew about this.
