Regulatory trend:
1. I found an article from the Filtermag that stated by 2020 the United States is banning all forms of e-cigarettes. I believe this opportunity exist more than ever right now because vaping is the new fad and now there were 215 cases of people having surgery and forming respiratory illnesses due to vaping. No one knows the long-term effect and the short terms effects aren’t looking good. The people who are going to be the most affected are smokers who are going to have to go absence or resort to smoking cigarettes, another is the smoke shops since a lot of their sales are from vapes. Also, suppliers like the Juul are going to be impacted because they will be out of business. I personally believe in banning all e-cigs because a lot of my friends are smoking juuls and other vapes and it’s a very bad especially when they never smoked before. College students are surrounded by vape shops and hopefully soon the madness will stop.
2. I found another article also taking about vaping but not with nicotine it has THC and there are three people who has died from it, according to USAToday. This exist because pothead think that weed isn’t harmful however from vapes containing THC people have died and it’s not soon until more people are to get sick or even die. The people who are going to be affected are THC distrusters illegal and legal. Also, smokers are going to be affected because they are smoking what can potentially be deadly. I believe this opportunity exist because I have a friend who using a medical card to buy THC pens to help her “anxiety” and I believe there are more natural methods to cure anxiety than smoking a pen.
Economic trends:
1. In an article from USA Today stated Beto O'Rourke who is running for president is pushing for buyback of assault weapons i.e. AR 15, AK 47. This opportunity is existing right now because Americans are scared from the increase mass shooting in schools and other public places Americans are looking for a change to keep the country safe. The people who are affected would be owners of assault guns, gun shops and an increase in sales on the black market. Personally, guns to me are form of safety for some in a house hold, however there is no need to have that powerful of a weapon. I think eliminating assault weapons will make America feel a little safer and give the families affected by mass shooting a sense of hope that America is changing.
2. An article found from Wall Street journal stated that housing market has increased, and the month of August was the strongest month in sales in nearly a year and a half. This opportunity is existing because the house market has been in a slump. The people affected are people who are selling their homes and people who are buying homes and the relators who are making a commission are the sales. This is relative to me because our house has been on the market for about 7 months and hopefully with the market turning around our house will sell.
Hi Carly,
ReplyDeleteI agree that assault weapons should be illegal or heavily regulated. There is no justifiable reason for wanting to own one when countless lives are being lost because of them. I think it is important that the government shows they are capable of making some sort of change related to this topic. If they continue to do nothing the problem will keep escalating.
