      Who is removing the meaning? If anything i thought we were trying to define it better and maybe challenge the traditional meaning because i don’t think it suits the current times. You are free to use a different word.

          Or maybe that correctly might be too traditional? If that’s too much i can just stop. I don’t wanna overload ya.

            Actually rereading my content: What i meant was to say “well just a different word” in regards to the current situation if recession doesn’t fit into the metrics of what a recession is. If you don’t like recession being used than give people who feel like it’s a recession a different word.

      Nah. Whatever word we use, some propagandist will argue its semantics rather than argue that people’s lives should actually be good enough to eat, be happy, be healthy, have a home and raise kids.
