I'm not sure why are you down-voted. I think slowing down, consuming less, is generally good for the whole Earth and its inhabitants.

  Pretty sure the downvotes are for ignoring the elephant in the room, if we have a prolonged recession a lot of people in the US are completely fucked from losing healthcare and from losing the paycheck that they depend on. Most Americans do not have an emergency fund.

    I'd like to think that if there is a recession, there are still the same number of people, and there are still the same number of hospital beds. Hospitals will just reduce their prices, because it's preferable to do that than leave beds empty.

      The problem isn't admittance or treatment the problem is the bill that comes in the mail 6 months later, as well as massive decline in spending, decline in social interactions, decline in nutritional choices, and the injection of the 2020 political circus towards the end of the year (in the US).

        All solvable problems. Even in a recession. With political will...
