A New Global Paradigm?

We’ve all read countless articles on how business will never be the same once COVID19 is in the rear-view mirror.  I’m not sure I agree with that. In fact, I don’t.  Oh sure, the months following “normalization” will see a cautious approach by many.  Manufacturers will take a long hard look at their supply chain, consumers will sock a few more dollars away in savings accounts, investors will diversify to include more precious metals, and so on.

Soon enough, however, we’ll be back at it – even more furious than ever.  We’ll be spending our money, investing aggressively, and rigorously pursuing the dream.

Although it seems strange to say, I believe that by the summer of 2021 – as we’re all settling in to watch the Summer Olympics, soccer matches, and follow the baseball pennant races – things will be pretty much as they were in the ladder weeks of 2019.

People are resourceful and resilient.  And that which doesn’t kill us serves to make us stronger – right?

Look, your guess is as good as mine and who knows, maybe I’m way off base.  Maybe the world and business will never be the same. But I doubt it.
