When is the US in an economic recession?

To be clear, the economy declined two straight quarters, which is the accepted measure of a recession.  Sleepy and friends have now moved the goal post, and they are telling us that a recession isn't really a recession.  They've have decided to change the standard, knowing that most Liberal voters are stupid and easily confused.  All of this is coming to you from the same people who argue that a bee is a fish.

 

One of their arguments is that we can't add 350,000 new jobs, and still be in a recession.  The "new jobs" stat is bullshit.  Here are the true numbers of how many Americans are working from month to month, and in the true sense we did not add 350,000 jobs.  https://www.bls.gov/news.release/empsit.t01.htm

 

In fact, we lost 315,000 net seasonally adjusted jobs.  The economy is certainly in a recession, and a bee is not a fish

 

Never trust a Lyin' Lib.

Most places still can't fill their openings.  

 

The economy is in a recession, and a bee is not a fish no matter how many time one lies about it.

Here's what fools naive idiots like Boiler. A recession would have to be accompanied by high unemployment. The opposite is currently the case.

 

But what's the difference, really? The only metric Boiler uses to complain about something is that he feels like complaining about it.

You can fasten on that obsession all you want, but you're no authority on the subject. You're just a whiny little bitch whose ignorance is shocking.

Boil's ignorance isn't that shocking as his worn out and tired ''bee is a fish'' schtick proves.

The goal of the Endangered Species Act is to protect and promote the recovery of species that are in danger of becoming extinct. Adding bees to the list gives them protections like prohibiting the import, export, or taking of the species.

Yeah, he's so fucking stupid that he misreads "bees are as much in need of protection as fish" as "a bee is a fish." What a moron.

 

And now he claims to know economics.

Telling a lie over and over doesn't make it true.  Honest.

The definition of a recession is 2 consecutive decreases in GDP.

That's probably how liberals define it, but when it's a liberal in charge it gets a little more nuanced than 'conservative' decreases.  Of course the official numbers aren't out so we don't know if it's a recession or not.  And you're right.  It's generally described as two consecutive (not conservative) quarters of decline in GDP.  That shows a contracting economy.  Hopefully it's short and mild and a soft landing. 

 

I'm sure everyone here is a lot more concerned about America's declining real wages that have been lowering our standard of living every month for over a year, right?  That's a little more meaningful to people.  Thanks Democrats!  Let's hope the medicine for Joe Biden's inflation doesn't kill the patient.
