A Harrowing Prophecy of the Future
Yesterday as I was driving home from my internship I stumbled upon an interesting commercial. The premise of the commercial was that some financial analyst created a shocking video prophesying the imminent collapse of our economy.
Usually I don't take such dooms day commercials seriously, but for some strange reason I decided to check out the video when I got home. What I found was seriously distressing. Distressing because many of the scenarios that were explained were either plausible or already happening.
I know that the primary aim of the video is to convince the viewer to purchase a membership for their financial newsletter. I also know that marketers also tend to use hyperbole to lure consumers. But still despite these facts the video is still a must watch. The video is a little lengthy. (75 minutes) I would suggest viewing the first half hour and if you are hooked or have the stomach you can watch the video in its entirety. I would strongly urge everyone to pass this information along.
So here is the video:
