Because it’s such blatant gaslighting. It’s been well established that two quarters of negative growth signal a recession. Everyone sees the two quarters of negative growth but our economists are going “well actually we’re not in a recession, we’re experts, believe us”.
And this isn’t the debate over Covid where you could make an argument one way or another. This id plain as day in the numbers and our leaders actually expect us to buy the “well actually we’re not in a recession” bullshit.
- krageon 4y agoThere was no aspect of Covid where you could genuinely "make an argument one way or the other", or at least no aspect that was worth talking about. Any sort of "but this other point of view tho" dialectic was bad-faith nutcase reasoning, usually leading directly and measurably to more people dying.
