Show me one person who has said that besides you.

I was helping you by giving you your new cope. Like "revenue".

Are you kidding I've heard at least three right-wing pundits say that crap over the last few weeks.

I thought it wasn’t two quarters any more

I mean, the thread title is half way to recession, can you read?

And even still, this is obviously just the start of recession and the only thing that will stop it would be another complete reversal of tariff policy.

My customer is already telling their customers to get ready to eat shit next month on prices.

All of them. Lotta collateral damage as well.

Not much you can do but play the fiddle and watch it burn when your choices in an election are Donald Trump and kamala Harris.

You think Kamala would've tanked the markets like this just one quarter in?

Try again with something that makes sense to what I asked please. I'm sorry it makes you upset that you don't understand what government revenue is, it wasn't my intention to hurt you.

I'm sorry you've pinned all your self worth to Trump and have to defend him at all costs. Enjoy the recession bud.

Thanks, man. Keep making up shit and playing dumb about things you understand perfectly well.

The U.S. economy contracted 0.3% in the first quarter of 2025, the first negative reading since 2022

why are you guys not using Yellen's definition?




You should have included this bit as well.

"Details: The overall GDP decline "primarily reflected an increase in imports" and a "decrease in government spending," the Commerce Department said in a release.

• It is the weakest GDP print since the same period in 2022, when the economy contracted at a 1% annualized rate, similarly weighed down by volatile categories like trade and inventories."

always funny when ""decrease in government spending" leads to GDP tanking.

If only there was some way to avoid this. Too bad there wasn't. Nope, not at all.

Jimmy Carter's fault tbh.

Positive 2.4% growth to negative .3% growth is quite the swing for one quarter.

Big trigger will be -3% GDP and associated with this tax income ...during 12 month period.
U.S and Eurozone are No1 and No3 financial empires in this world.

If only Obama had never worn that tan suit. Smdh

This clip alone makes it worth going through a recession! I’d rather be poor than vote for a person who *checks notes* wouldn’t hate their child based on how they identify.

Edit: I am also begging conservatives to learn just basic phrasing. She’s asking Marlon about his experience and starts the question with “as a black man…” meaning Marlon is a black man. I know the whole schtick for cons is being ignorant is cool but it just makes it impossible to even have a good faith discussion.

always a tweet or truth with Napping Trump.

They aren't trying to have a discussion, they're just trying to do a bit of light fascism.

I wish Jack were here to say that 2 quarters of negative growth isn’t a recession
