We are all hoping for an economic recovery. A rising tide lifts all boats.
In the event that the economy contracts, however, people will have to band together more closely to get the resources they require.
Groups like Kitchener-Waterloo Entrepreneurs and its affiliated groups in London, Guelph, Toronto, etc., will, in an era of economic contraction, become even more important for their members.
In short, if you are not a member of such a group, you will be left out and nobody wants to be left out.
Entrepreneurship, should economic contraction come, will become more and more important for the economic survival and success of society. Entepreneurship groups, organized by one's home town, will become an invaluable resource for those seeking to succeed in times of contraction.
People like to know what is going on in their home towns and in their own social circles.
Flowing from increased use of such groups may well be television and radio programing which is about the actual members of these groups.
