MooPig loves among other droppings to be a Trend Spotter
by Pat Darnell
MooPig wants to present the newest business idea for all the MooPigsters out there looking for the next "big" trend in business.
Surviving has made it to MooPig's attentive state of conscience. It may not be "spoken of" out there yet; but we do note a sense of Surviving Industries Emerging.
Leading indicators:
- Well, let's see -- 60 Minutes just did a "After the Chilean Miner Rescue" segment that sort of points to our latest thinking on the subject
- *[thinking ... ]*
- Then there is the whole massive Gulf of Mexico Oil Spill Disaster and aftermath going in this direction...
- *[processing]*
- Hmmmm ... how about the complete failure of the Music Industry -- such as the recent report that CD sales were down another 20% this year.
- *[reaching]*
- Teenagers having nightmarish dreams about "surviving" some cataclysmic event after 13 hours straight of playing Black Ops on XBOX .... ?
Spotting trends and other forms of terrain has become a favorite wonkish exercise at Moopig round table Editors' meetings. Surviving the gas prices, tightening the belts, investing in smart appliances ... is on everyone's mind.
Not a day goes by that Middle America does not race to their local newspapers to see if any thing local made national headlines. Furtherest from ever achieving that is Texas Aggies sports teams; but that is not what tethers global south to balustrades of disappearing resources. What ropes and chains we the Middle in a short radius is civil disobedience.
All us here in the Middle are chanting around, and rabble rousing, our capital cities -- especially the Mid-West -- for what we are not sure. But it is a movement, and no one really knows how long the Middle has been stopped up ... so this could be a helluva' movement.
So we present Survivor Industries as Exhibit One for our reader, and finish with this one thought:
"It’s a well known fact that in the event of nuclear holocaust two things would TRUELY survive; cockroaches and Bear Grylls, afterwards Bear would simply eat the cockroaches for protein."That's our Report from the Midddle this week; where the women are strong, the men are good-looking, and the children are all above average.
NEXT WEEK:
We learn how to grill bear meat after blackberry season, using only a cell phone.
