- At best. - Seriously, my dude here is being optimistic. 
 
- No, no, no, no. It’s not a recession. Don’t worry about that. It’s something much worse. It’s a coup. - It’s both. 
 
- We been on the recession train since at least 08 - source? - how? - 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. 
 
 
- Yes, but the question is when? - Now. - These are the good old days. 
 
- 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. 
- Yes it’s the gift the US gave the world. That and a safe education system. Oh wait… 🫠 
- On a long enough time scale. Yes we are going to have one. When we have it is the more interesting discussion
