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.

    @Vertraumir You are very ill-informed, I’m afraid. While things may have been that way in Paul Robeson’s day, it’s well known in this day and age that Russians are racist, violently so, and a Potemkin nation. A gas station run by thugs. Please, educate yourself. Russia is not doing well at all. Marxism has failed in every nation it has been introduced to.
