Apples and oranges. Economics has always struggled with mathematical rigor because it's a highly dynamic system with too many variables that are impossible to control if only to study well, so our understanding of it and how to shape it is still growing. Most importantly, it doesn't have the same level of certainty in its claims from a scientific perspective as a panel of doctors would have in discussing illnesses. There's also the difference in political stakes. The economy is doing the same no matter whether you are able to affix a label on it or not (that many economists won't want to decide on until it's behind us). We're just arguing on whether we get to use that label, when most people in the U.S. are struggling. They're focusing on what affects them, whereas economists are also looking at a bigger range of other factors, including how businesses and the higher classes are faring. This is where the divide comes from. At the end of the day, you're not going to convince most people they aren't in pain, because they are, based on metrics they don't care about.

Even economists don't like to use the exact same metrics and parameters to "define" a recession every time. And most importantly, a significant portion like to do it after the fact. Because saying something like "a lack of growth for x consecutive quarters", etc, doesn't cover all possibilities.

Cue all the people that think a single definition they learned about is the only one that exists and should exist for no discernable practical reason.

literally besides the point and also the opposite of the original scenario

Downvotes. Fuck me, well, I guess it didn't happen, then.

Seriously

Breaking News: Did you know Nancy Pelosi's a bitch?

I'll take plastic over lead any day

I pulled down his pants, bent him over my knee, and spanked him with it until he put the power rangers back on.

someone on the board wanted her to lower her prices

You would trust your lungs to vehicle manufacturers getting every van air-tight with seals to last for many years?

You're deeply uncomfortable with other men being open about attraction banter with you? To each their own, but it's not necessarily a virtue.

Typically that's around when the bed gets big enough to haul a sheet of plywood or drywall safely.

I said nothing about safety.

The tests have determined that was a lie

Nice to see you've realized it's a compromise and not some slam-dunk about the character of whoever's driving it based on no additional information.

That being said, truck bros can be as insufferable as anyone else with an ego, they're just easy to pick on

It's crazy how your English got worse to the point of making no discernible counter-argument once you're backed into a corner

So edgy.

What if you rest the wood on the tailgate, or lean it on the roof, then tie it down, is it no longer safe?

What if you're the driver for a small crew that picks them up every morning then uses the smaller bed for supply runs?

Just lemmy grasping at straws to put everyone into a box based on incomplete information.

I could probably still cook a better version of either of those 🤣

lmao who asked
