Back to USA – we need to consume less!

Posted by Michael Michelini on Jun 06 2008

Back in the USA for a week now – great meeting friends, customers, suppliers….

All I can do is read the news and look around. It makes me realize how the world is FLATTER and FLATTER China, India, emerging markets – aren’t emerging anymore They are developed lands, with people who are driving more, eating more, living more.

I read some articles about oil will remain high…and that people have to learn to control spending. USA is a consumer….and we have to learn that big cars, huge meals, automatic everything – is not practical….and we have to

Allow the world to become flat

Maybe it takes $200/barrel oil to make us realize…..we dont need supersized meals and huge trucks to live a happy life.

Just my 2 cents……
