Great list, thanks for the post about it.
#1. $4.00 Gasoline
#2. Recession by the 4th Quarter.
The rise of Detroit is, at this point, greatly premature. If it were up to Southeastern Michigan residents, the proposals would be a done deal. Unfortunately, a very distrusting and divisive Detroit populace stands in the way of change.
Bet on no rise.
As I've told people: "There's nothing wrong with Detroit that a meteor strike couldn't fix."
Watch for more North Dakota Oil, a lot more, in 2011.
Hmmm, I tend to think of these types of articles as a bit silly but entertaining and definitely worth the read...
Thanks for posting the link...
BTW was there a similer posting in 2009 and were those guesses for 2010 checked out their accuracy or lack there of?
Well it looks like JWT's '100 Things to Watch in 2010' hits the 50+ percent mark...
As I've told people: "There's nothing wrong with Detroit that a meteor strike couldn't fix."
Thanks, Jason...best laugh I've had all day. Gotta agree with you on that prediction.
