Kept seeing this clip of Barry Sternlicht laughing about a “nice little recession” so I thought I’d share.
For what it’s worth, this isn’t the first time I’ve heard someone hoping for a recession. My stepdad told me this and I don’t understand why he’d want that.
According to him the only way to combat inflation is for us to go into a recession. But wouldn’t that cause a different form of chaos?
I’m uneducated on inflation vs recession but I know for a fact through lived experience that inflation sucks, and I’ve heard recession is also shit so why ask for one?
Anyway if this doesn’t belong here please let me know so I can post it somewhere else, I’m still getting used to what posts belong in what communities.
I’ve said something similar in front of my mom and she yelled at me, convinced the government will assassinate/arrest me.
and that is liberal democracy for you. Never forget what they did to the Black Panthers.
