Top Trends 2008:
Panic and Fear – Solutions and Hope |
Winter
Issue 2008 |
Economic 9/11
Just as the Twin Towers collapsed from the top down, so too will the US economy from an Economic 9/11. When the high-stake speculators, banks, brokerages, and buyout firms that leveraged billions with millions get hit ... everything underneath them will turn to rubble.
|
The Panic of 08
Failing banks, busted brokerages, toppled corporate giants, bankrupt cities, states in default, foreign creditors cashing out of US securities … whatever the spark, the stage is set for panic in the streets. When the giant firms fall, they'll crush the man on the street. ....

Conservation Engineers
More powerful than high tech and paying much better than the booming health care sector, we forecast that "Conservation Engineers" and "Conservation Specialists" that are skilled in providing enviro-smart solutions will be among the most handsomely rewarded and sought after professions for the next several decades.
|
Tax Revolts
It was a reason given for starting the first American Revolution and as the trends add up, it will also be a reason for starting the second. Fed up, and not willing – or able – to take it anymore, overtaxed Americans will begin the battle against politicians and bureaucrats in the fight to lower and/or repeal taxes… while demanding higher tax rates for those seen as paying too little. .....
|
Bye, Bye Bucks
America’s going broke and the whole world knows it. Betting that its economy will spiral down and that the dollar will fall with it, foreign creditors are dumping dollars on the market … and even Third World street vendors don’t want to take greenbacks any longer. The further it falls, the less it’s worth. The less it’s worth, the less it buys. In the real world they call it "inflation." In America they call it "good for business." ......
|
Small is Big
Unlike the years of personal prosperity and business growth long perceived a birthright … today, as America’s fortunes dwindle, its people will be forced to adjust attitudes and alter practices to compensate for the losses. Although the oncoming national downsizing trend may be a blow to egos and painful to pocketbooks, if intelligently deployed and spiritually practiced, the "Small is Big" trend can lead to more progressive advancement and greater rewards than the supersizing trend that has been consuming much of the nation.
|
Heal Yourself Health Care
Just as it took mountains of facts and bottom line realities to finally convince a consumption prone public that energy saving tools and environmentally sound practices bring bigger rewards and higher quality, the oncoming "Heal Yourself Health Care" trend will be as widely embraced and will prove equally rewarding.
Evolving over the past two decades, along with growing acceptance of seeking alternative medical options, the "Heal Yourself Health Care" trend is being driven by both the lack of money and the power of the mind.
|
TechnoSlaves.com
It’s a quickly spreading worldwide epidemic that will get much worse. All colors, classes, creeds and races are addicted and they can’t break the habit. Before 2008 ends, the TechnoSlave trend will be so pervasive and so deeply embedded into the fabric of society that Old World communication styles will be seen as quaint and ridiculed as stupidly boring by the high-tech "hip."
Across borders and around the world, blinking lights of blue and red flash from human ears … electro-plastic appendages affixed to the body and controlling the mind. So self-important have society’s members become that they must be connected at all times … to be in touch and instant messaged … for work, play and to fill the voids of idle time.
