i'm scott mcgrew. i have worked this television for 30 years. i am going to tell you a little secret. while our meteorologists are 100% accurate all the time, of course, other tv weather forecasters cheat just a little bit. they over predict rain. here is why. if they are right and it rains, they are accurate. if it doesn't rain, nobody cares they said it would. they just go enjoy the day. keep that in mind as you hear one in three economists surveyed by the national association of business economics says the u.s. economy will be in recession by 2021. that jumps to three in four if you extend the guess out to the end of 2021, which is why i brought the rain analogy. you only remember the people who failed to predict the storm. it's safer to say it's going to happen. it's possible those economists are hedging their bets by predicting recession. that said, let's talk about what silicon valley needs to do just in case. i thought we would get in touch with the partner at emergence capital. smart guy who is some of the big money behind one of the mos
