No.

And who gets hit the worst by these recessions?

Cyclical manufacturers such as airplane and auto makers, steel and aluminum producers and most large banks which depend upon the national economy for their lending.

Makers of consumable products are considered the least affected by recessions, such as manufacturers of soap and other consumer cleaning/hygiene supplies, toilet paper, food and beverage producers and tobacco.

Those would be your Proctor and Gamble and Johnson and Johnson type companies but they still are affected because consumers switch to their cheaper brands to get by.
