The Downturnaround

New York Magazine debuted a new feature for their magazine, called the “Downturnaround.”  http://nymag.com/daily/intel/2009/01/the_downturnaround.html.  In it, the author’s look for evidence that not everything in our economic landscape is so dire.

I’m hoping it soon becomes irrelevant (you know, because all the news is positive?)

I appreciate this slightly tongue-in-cheek attitude, though, because I’m tired of newspapers and blogs asking us if this is the next great depression.  I get it, it’s fun to attach labels, but it’s not really moving the ball along, either.  People are struggling, so let’s help move through to a place with less struggle.  All of this drilling down on the negative is getting old, quickly.

I was just talking to someone fairly in the know with respect to the direction we’re taking.  He’s realistic, informed, and bright.  There is no sugar-coating the difficulties, and there are more coming for some sectors of our economy.  But lots of folks are already gearing up to invest in the future.  I guarantee you they aren’t shutting down because of the bad news–they are identifying and capitalizing on opportunity.  Yay downturnaround!
