The bourgeoisie news and economists won't call it a recession until the stock market falters. If the big number stays high enough, we could "not a recession" all the way through the next Great Depression.

Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed.
All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body.
If you are citing a Twitter post as news, please include not just the twitter.com URL but also Xcancel.com (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance, such as Libredirect or archive them as you would any other reactionary source (archive.today, web.archive.org, ghostarchive.org). Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed.
Mass-tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken Markov chain bot will result in a comm ban.
Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.
Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned.
Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society.

The mainstream media is going to really struggle with their messaging, because there may not be an obvious stock market collapse. There's a sense in which the highs of the stock market are not irrational exuberance, but a rational reflection of how much they're dabbing on us.
If dems weren’t controlled opposition they would run on this.
Ok chuds. Republican trifecta. Republican Supreme Court doing political favors for the Republican president, you won the culture wars, porky got another tax cut and ai is making labor more and more affordable AND they’re richer than ever.
Why aren’t they making jobs? Why are things still expensive?
Why aren’t they making jobs?
The Democrats are neither equipped nor willing to tug the thread of that conversation. Just asking the question puts us on the dangerous path of realizing capitalism is a system of systems and not some supernatural force.
: “Recession? What are you talking about? I’m THRIVING kiddo! Look at how efficient work is now! I laid off half my workforce because I don’t need them!”
6 months later when the "efficient AI systems all collapse within themselves"
please Mr government if I collapse everything will be ruined, I only need 6 trillion dollars to avert this.
K shaped recovery
I was laid off 4 times this year my only lifeline was my ticket and knowing people
Damn, 4 times? That's brutal.
Yeah usually after a job is finished a company would just throw the workers at random other jobs until the next one started and needed a full crew. This year it has been lay the entire crew off at the end of the project and hire a new one for the next
wow there's things that would make me want to do to people im really sorry
well I don't think there's any reason to be concerned about this
This is good for ~~Bitcoin~~ America!
say the line bart!
since 2009
much like covid, economic recession only exists if you talk about it and report data
C’mon, collapse already
I thought shit would collapse in 2020... when we were shutting down I was telling people "shit's gonna get real, see you at the barricades" and then woops we were back to work a month later selling socks to maskless old people
Yeah how the US has handled the past 5 years has made me so 
but also like 
because it feels like this is a process capitalism must go through and we aren't there yet, no matter how much it sucks already
I mean it did get crazy around some cities during the BLM riots, but liberal society has learned to have some good pressure release valves, like promising a bunch of reforms, some of which happened and helped, a bunch of which didn't.
People have to stop learning to be tricked by Dem/liberal promises. But then that's been working since FDR, so no surprise it still works now.
Hell yeah Legacy Media, earn those spurs! Tell it like it… oh, okay then.
lmao
come on corporate america, there's still time left to make this the record holder year!
It's fine Trump will just stop reporting on it
yeah there's this realization now that everyone is so atomized and siloed they can just gaslight forever now
everyone will individually think it's their own failings because they are told everything is good. more depression, mass shootings, lashing out, self-harm
