I'm glad you're confident, but you're wrong. Net exports is a component of GDP and it's exports minus imports. IDK where you got the idea you did. > (it is domestic product after all) Yeah, so buying more from oversea

Ok, let's play your game. How much of the first quarter decline was due to the ports clearing and imports rising? Here, I'll give you a hint (More than 100%): https://fred.stlouisfed.org/graph/fredgraph.png?g

I feel like a broken record but, the 'Two quarters' rule is an unofficial metric that does a bad job of representing recessions when you back-test it (no recessions from 1992-2008 in that case). In the US, a recession is defined b

Well, the point of a union is that management actually has a very bad sense for what employees want, so employees can't rely on management to meet their needs. Like in this metaphor, sit/stand desks are a visible 'we care abo

Not OP but the point is that Li-ions are rechargeable and therefore more susceptible to shorting/thermal runaway than lithium batteries which are not wired to be rechargeable and therefor less at risk for shorting/thermal runaway.
