Trends 2008:
Panic and Fear – Solutions and Hope
|
|
December 2007

|
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.....
|
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.....

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." ......
|
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..... |

|
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.....
|
|
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.....
|
|
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.....

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.....
