When Gene Marks and I recorded this episode of Dashboard on Friday, we were pretty sure the government was going to shut down. That, of course, didn\u2019t happen so you can fast-forward through our brief remarks early in the show\u2014or perhaps you would enjoy hearing Gene state confidently that he\u2019s known all along that a shutdown was inevitable. We also discuss what Gene\u2019s been hearing from business owners as he criss-crosses the country talking to various groups. And Gene talks about the IRS\u2019s decision to suspend the ERC program and what you should do if you fear you may have been overly aggressive in your application. Plus, he explains why he hates LinkedIn but keeps using it anyway. -- Loren Feldman
