I’ve read a good amount about this, and while by traditional measures there isn’t technically a recession, many real‑world signs make it feel like one. What do we think? I don’t think this breaks the 6 rule, it’s an economic question.

    Nope, the populace is under stupid strain, but the economy is just slow, not contracting.

    Given everything that is going with AI and Trump though, it probably would be a good idea to be prepared for one hell of a recession next year.

      if you remove the AI circular spending bubble, we are 100% in a recession already.

      and that’s if you trust the data, which arguably has been far too fucked with to be useful for years now.

      Should be in freefall by next November. Good news for the midterms… I guess.

        There tends to be a political backlash after presidential turn over, all the added backlash on this mid term is going to be epic before even taking the economy into account.
