Top 10 Dying industries…

[Mike Cohen]

Even more alarming are the other stats:

Costume Shops
Where will I go to get my next Stormtrooper Costume? May have to build my next one out of cardboard.

Mills
I assume we will have to resort to grinding our own cornmeal in years to come. Or we could use our disused Ampex motor brush assemblies to make flour.

Photo Finishing
This is news?

Prefabricated Homes
Was this ever a huge industry? Probably, but you just don’t hear about it very often unless you are buying a new home.

It is an odd mix of dying industries – likely compiled by a pseudo reporter with nothing more than a web browser. This actually looks like the type of fluff story you see on Cra#ked.com or USA today or your local network affiliate’s 5pm news.

In other words, this article is not news, but fluff designed to raise eyebrows without requiring much in the way of journalism.
