American Consequences - December 2019

I NS I DE TH I S I SSUE

Are you prepared for the next decade?

E ditor in chief P.J. O’Rourke kicks us off with some fabulously outlandish and cheerful predictions – say goodbye to cold weather, Big Tech, and celebrity “influencers.” And say hello to buying the U.S. presidency for under $10 – because that’s all it’ll be worth after eight years of Democrats in office. Then, we focus in... and ask nine of the feature contributors to our magazine one question: What will the 2020s bring us? We narrowed it down to a grab bag of predictions, expectations, and flat-out sure things. From political disasters, technological innovations, macro-economic trends, and companies in crisis – we’ve got them all. Then read what might be the biggest, most contrarian call in this magazine – we know when the next recession will begin. Dr. Steve Sjuggerud updates us on his 2020 Melt Up blueprint. More gains ahead, he says. And he’s been righter than right so far. World-roaming financial analyst Kim Iskyan has the inside scoop on Saudi Arabia’s Aramco IPO. P.J. says “Kim does a fantastic job of explaining the ‘It’s-Too-Complicated-To-Explain.’”

And Buck Sexton shows why the Democrats have gotten more than they bargained for with his call (originally published earlier this month) of a Trump impeachment... and a second term. Plus, don’t miss... • In defense of embattled WeWork buffoon Adam Neumann. • Will 2020 be the year that NATO finally dies? • The high stakes of the coming digital currency war. • Three ways to fight off the Christmas blues. • One man’s devastating loss... and how to avoid it yourself. (And how to win at carnival games.) We’ve uploaded a PDF suitable for printing to our archive page. And tell us what you think at feedback@ americanconsequences.com. Regards, Steven Longenecker Publisher, American Consequences

We tell you what to expect... and how to profit.
