@Tfmonkey what's that old saying, never let a good crisis go UN-profitied
@VooDooMedic It's not a crisis. The 2nd quarter closed and we're officially in a recession, but those reports are backwards-looking so we've BEEN in a recession for months.
We've also been in the middle of an energy crisis for months, so in what world does "OMG RECESSION" mean oil is going to crash when all that's changes is that the calendar moved from June to July?
@Tfmonkey do you think that it is just the cathedral trying to "keep the animals calm" before they absolutely slaughter everyone who resists and use them as an example ?
@VooDooMedic They're operating under two false narratives.
1. inflation is transitory and will go away on its own of through tiny rate hikes of fractions of a percent.
2. The recession is a repeat of 2008, and the FED is going to "pivot" and lower rates/stimulate the economy once inflation is "tamed" by said fractional rate hikes.
