    Stick around in these threads long enough and someone will come and post statistical proof that how you feel is anecdotal and of absolutely no bearing on realty. So at what point do you stop caring about the “definition” of recession and realize that maybe it’s not measured in a way that promotes a health society rather than just a healthy economy?

    Record profits and millions uninsured. Record profits and crumbling infrastructure. Record profits and mass layoffs. Maybe it’s fucked?

      Or just use a different word that means what you’re trying to say. When you remove the meaning from words, it becomes harder to solve problems.

        Who is removing the meaning? If anything i thought we were trying to define it better and maybe challenge the traditional meaning because i don’t think it suits the current times. You are free to use a different word.
