Is Everybody Out to Get You?

• The Economy:
  • New articles suggest the US economy is like a "house of cards" ready to collapse.
  • Bloomberg reports that anger and deep-seated resentment towards a rigged system are driving the economy, artificially propping it up.
  • Americans are increasingly raiding their retirement savings (e.g., 401Ks) to contribute to the economy, creating "ghost income" for businesses.
• Your Finances:
  • Is this happening in your world?
  • How does this impact your business and financial planning?
• Your Car - Friend or Foe?
  • The federal government is pushing for new technologies in vehicles, including:
    • Anti-speeding tech: Automakers are being urged (not yet required) to include speed assistance systems that can:
      • Warn drivers (minimum).
      • Shut down the car or apply brakes (maximum).
    • Potential "kill switch" technologies are also being considered for the future.
  • Be aware of how these developments might affect driving and vehicle ownership.
