In other words, the Recovery has begun with investment and major tech revolutions.

I do a lot of travel, domestically and internationally, as a consultant to manufacturing and investment firms. While there may some positives that can be found, they are growing fewer and fewer. There is a significant slow-down occurring, and it is gaining speed. The question before any real recovery happens, is how hard the stop will be before we reverse direction, and what type of damage will be left in the wake.
