11 2016 Better days will come Journalism is not a news industry, but the distribution of information. However, as journalists have to stay up to date by reading and having contact with different sources, they sometimes use that content to express opinions (some even become writers or specialist commentators) which are not always agreed upon. This is the case in the current economic crisis. It is difficult to be optimistic when so many companies are running out of cash and it is impossible to speak of tomorrow when most of them do not know their doors will be open this afternoon. Nevertheless, it must be said that the worst is over! We are saying the economic crisis has finished, but we are reproducing information from economists, analysts and experienced businesspeople, according to which the structural conditions at the end of 2016 will not be as bad as at the beginning of the year. Recovery will begin before the end of next year. It is clear that part of the economic crisis due to the political state of the country. This crisis has taught us some lessons, one of which being that society - Including businesspeople - should watch and, where possible, participate in government and Congress’s decisions. This will mean that trends observed by specialists will become reality, providing benefits for society itself. There is good news for the highway implement segment. This edition of the Highway Implement Industry Yearbook contains encouraging facts, some of which are fruits of current management efforts, others from agribusiness. There are the agreement entered into with Apex-Brasil, and the agreement with BNDES and the Ministry of Agrarian Development, as well as the large grain harvest. The glass half-empty / half-full example is appropriate. Poor sales now will lead to a shortage on the market and increased demand in the future. Our role with this publication is to inform. It is up to the readers to decide whether the news is good or not. Specifically in this editorial, we are free to write things that seem counterintuitive, especially amid the turmoil we find ourselves in now. But based on what we have read and heard, we reaffirm what we said in the title: better days will come. The Editors © Richard Thomas | Dreamstime.com
