You're looking at asset prices to determine if we’re in a recession?

How many full time jobs has the country added in the last year? Hint—it’s a negative number.

Those are hard to come by with deficits running 7% of gdp. The private sector would absolutely have to Thelma and Louise itself for gdp to go negative in consecutive quarters.

I just stopped by a Dairy Queen to get an ice cream. A medium blizzard costs $7.40. I don’t believe anything the government says at this point. They printed way too much money.

You mean the time we had two consecutive negative quarters but every single media outlet said that wasn’t a recession or are you talking about the COVID “recession” that was literally forced upon the world when the government shutdown damn near the whole economy to fight a mini flu?

Is that the board's definition of recession now?



A = When nearly everyone on this board said 2 quarters of real GDP contraction determined whether or not we were in a recession.

B = When nearly everyone on this board stopped caring about real GDP and started making up their own definitions of recession.

Pot, meet kettle.
