    I mean, everywhere else it’s just 2 consecutive quarters of economic contraction, the definition has never been contested before. Only now when it applies to themselves do USonians want to argue about it.

      Yes, and before this presidency the definition of energy independence was pretty clear as well, being a net exporter. But now trumpers hear energy independence and act like we didn’t import fuel under Trump and only ran on our own while under Trump we imported 7.9 million barrels a day. Same thing really, slightly different lies to serve the same class.
