One the bright side, oil and taxes are too high for most working people. On the not so bright side, this country is not used to the political instability, wide spread rioting and the brutish police state. As a person who does look at future trends, I am sure there are some kernels of truth in the article, such as anti-immigrant sentiment: “He predicts wage riots and anti-government street protests and intensified anti-immigration movements looking to scapegoat the “aliens” among us and toward the 1 percent of Americans who received 50 percent…” A lot of this scenario unfolding depends on how the government continues to deal with the economy and that depends on Congress and the election. It gives a whole new meaning to gate guarded.

February 8, 2008 at 10:06 AM #149784SHILOHParticipant(AXcess News) New York – Within Celente’s “The Trend Journal” newsletter is his predictions for the future, coined as a “Trendpost”, in which he writes: “Jobless, broke and nowhere to go, “Self Storage” will soon live up to the meaning of its name. Down and out, thrown onto the streets … homeless Americans will empty out storage lockers of useless junk … to store themselves. When Panic strikes, it will only be a matter of time and a question of survival before they move in. Whether on their own or with family in tow, living in concrete and steel 4x8s will be a step up from sleeping in the streets or risking a night at a homeless shelter.”
Celente predicts the “security industry will flourish”, but he never mentions the fact that if he’s right about everyone living in storage lockers, so will the self-storage industry.
Celente’s 12-page report moves back and forth, pointing at things that happened this year and slipping in a few “we told you so” comments in referencing prior Trends Journals, which we’re sure is as vague as his “Winter Issue-2008” in giving predictions. This latest Journal is sure to get Celente some air time on CNN and other news networks who are lured by drama in the name of 30-second commercial spots.So this is the “Trend Guru” who is asked to speak globally,etc,etc…maybe that IS why we are in this mess. He sounds like a sensationalist – like Cramer.
I think I would pay more attention to what someone like Warren Buffett would say about what’s ahead for the economy.
If Warren Buffett had a school of business…I’d like to enroll…http://www.newswise.com/articles/view/535301/February 8, 2008 at 10:06 AM #150039SHILOHParticipant(AXcess News) New York – Within Celente’s “The Trend Journal” newsletter is his predictions for the future, coined as a “Trendpost”, in which he writes: “Jobless, broke and nowhere to go, “Self Storage” will soon live up to the meaning of its name.

He is. There are definite problems we will have to deal with, but I think he is way over sensationalizing. He obviously has not studied our country very well. He does not understand how this country works when under extreme adversity.
At the founding of this country:
We get pissed of at the British on the taxation and denial of civil rights… grab our squirrel guns and take on what was at that time, one of the strongest military forces of its day… and won.WW II
Lusitania was part of what got us involved.. and the US involvement largely changed the course of the war.Japan attacks us in Pearl Harbor without warning (before their Embassy delivers the Declaration of War), sinking a large part of our Naval ships. Result, first use of Nuclear bombs.. twice. Japan surrender signed on board US military ship in part to make it understood that this was not a negotiated surrender but an all out surrender.
Sept 11..
4th plane, people get pissed and take on the hijackers. Plane does not make it to its target. Unknown whether flown into ground or shot down by pursuing Military fighter jets. John Reid (shoe bomber) tries the hotshoe routine and it quite forcibly restrained. We attack 2 countries, defeat both.What ends up happening to the US in disaster is that we have a period of grieving and sadness.. followed by getting really pissed off. There is still a bit of “Don’t Tread On Me” mentality within this country.. (part example is our resistance to gun control despite some aspects of danger that this may create)
I do think that the RE/economy problem is one of our own creation. Unfortunately, there has not been very honest reporting on the causes. Too much ‘feel sorry for this speculator‘ from the media. Of course the media does not do the background work and does not mention that the poor person is a speculator caught by their own greed.
It kind of reminds me of a story of an Indian (from India) technique to catch a monkey. Put some food in a narrow neck jar attached to a chain, where the neck is just wide enough to let the food or a monkey’s hand when not clenched get through. The monkey reaches in and grabs food but can’t get both hand and food out. The monkey refuses to let go of the food.. and therefore is trapped.
