No, there really was a recession.
A government caused recession due to the harmful actions they took to "combat" the coronavirus where they actually ended up killing more people than if they hadn't done anything at all.
The pandemic recession is hardly a legitimate recession because we also had the fastest economic recovery in modern history, as well, shortly after that recession ended. More like, it is a very uncharacteristic recession and it is just a unique animal. We cannot legitimately say we had "record economic recovery" because governments decided to end lockdowns.
That article is old. It's from early June.

Trying to gaslight out of a recession. Not sure that will actually do anything in reality, surt. But you can hope.
But we are literally not in a recession. Your article is from almost exactly 6 months ago.
A recession, in economics, has an explicit definition of economic contraction in 2 consecutive quarters. In June, we clearly saw economic contraction in 2 consecutive quarters. It was right to call it a recession in early June.
We also saw record growth in June and exited the recession about the same time they posted their research.
And we haven't been in a recession since then.
Pretending like an economic assessment in early June is indicative of the economic landscape, today, is actual gaslighting. Pointing out the literal facts of the current economy is not gaslighting even remotely.
Why is it that actual facts = gaslighting but actual gaslighting is not called gaslighting?
Did you look at the date on the article? Did you hope no one would notice? Or did you purposefully try to gaslight?

^It's why I said they shouldn't bring gaslighting into this. Given they do it on a daily basis? That would not be a conversation that ends well for them.
It's why Rob was wise to avoid it. See they *can* learn, albeit slowly.

I didn’t realize you wrote the article you are now claiming to have

All you care about is arguing politics and trying to convince people you are somebody your not, which is a prophet. You made a thread based off something else someone wrote.Riding off their coattails is embarrassing, if you had any shame.
Rob is past the point where he can argue in good faith.
