Trends

There are a number of things happening, that have been happening for at least as long as I've been paying attention, that are remaking what makes up the basics of an American life.  These trends are worth paying attention to; you can ride the waves if you see them coming, instead of just getting drowned by them.  Also, there's no use crying about it, just realize that it's the truth and make adjustments; sink or swim.

 

They're mainly related to the changing workforce and the increase in inequality/growth in poverty.  I believe these trends are the most important things happening in our country and what the future is going to look like.  I think they are the biggest challenges.  They have been on the horizing for at least a decade. 

 

There are many opportunities still out there I believe, and for me energy is one of them.  I believe for me it will be an intersection of energy, internet and startups.
