    Nope. We will just redefine the word again before ever getting to that point.

    However if you want to go by the original definition then we’ve already been in a recession for awhile now.

    On a long enough time scale. Yes we are going to have one. When we have it is the more interesting discussion

    No, no, no, no. It’s not a recession. Don’t worry about that. It’s something much worse. It’s a coup.

        Everyone who said the sky is falling. Someone would be right eventually. Personally I don’t think it had to happen or any analyst was correct, none of them could point to a specific cause beforehand so they’ll just retcon their guesses to say they were right. There were some sectors that were definitely due for a correction, like housing in the US, but the whole thing didn’t have to topple. It just took a complete fool in office to start thrashing about with brainless economic and geopolitical policies to push us toward a wide spanning recession.
