This has been the definition everywhere for a while, UK and elsewhere. The fact that you are changing it now IS the most political you could ever make it. I am baffled that you could make this argument, YOU are us centric political saying this.
- desmond373 4y agoThe definition has been locked to the original definition and been blocked from being changed by people who believe it to be different. He supports this as it stops people stating their possibly regional views views on a globally centred page. So I'm confused what you think he is supporting being changed.
- saalweachter 4y agoIn general, you don't want to be the part of the internet people go to to score points, internet points or news cycle points. You've got to shut it down hard whenever you can or soon everyone will be running over to deface your site and post screen shots to Twitter, "look what site X says about Y!!!" and the non-virtuous cycle will take years of hard moderation to get back under control.

The 2022 wikipedia entry for Recession says that two consecutive quarters of negative growth is the common definition, says this is not universally accepted, and gives the NBER definition also. The original 2007 wikipedia entry for Recession says that two consecutive quarters of negative growth is the common definition, says this is not universally accepted, and gives the NBER definition also, which is identical to the 2022 NBER definition.
