    Didn't they charge the whole narrative of what the definition of a recession is or was?

    Used to be 2 declining quarters of gdp, now they moved the definition around to really keep the economy totally out of recession...

    That is definitely definitive.Is it crying or whining?

    You didn't see the joke I posted?

    Two economists are walking in a forest when they Come across a pile of shit.

    The first economist says to the other "Ill pay you $100 to eat that pile of shit." The second economist takes the $100 and eats the pile of shit.

    They continue walking until they come across a second pile of shit. The second economist turns to the first and says "l pay you $100 to eat that pile of shit." The first economist takes the $100 and eats a pile of shit.

    Walking a little more, the first economist looks at the second and says, "You know, I gave you $100 to eat shit, then you gave me back the same $100 to eat shit. can't help but feel like we both just ate shit for nothing." "That's not true", responded the second economist. "We increased the GDP by $200!"

    I don't know, and I don't think anyone else knows either. One thing is for sure though, our dollar is losing value and crypto is gaining value. Who knows what tomorrow might bring? For all we know someone could break in our houses, steal our money, steal our possessions, but one thing they will never be able to steal is a password...
