    The whole debate is over the definition of a word so of course it’s going to be pedantic. Lol I’m not even sure you understand what that words mean.

    “OMG we’re in a recession”

    “Well, no not technically because the definition you are using is not the actual definition”

    “OMG you’re trying to tell me the economy is french silk caramel!”

    “Uh that’s not what they’re saying”

    It this is “pedantry” then surely you don’t understand the term.

          I’m back on lemmy. Hello, dumbfuck. Feel stupid yet? As inflation increased, job markets weakened, the housing market continued to be open sewage, industries had massive layoffs, the middle class is smaller and has less power than ever, and the public began to be more amenable to fascism because of economic strife, you still think the economy was doing a-ok? Still think the economists who use different definitions in order to try to capture the spirit of the meaning after the fact precisely because the same metrics don’t always tell the same story might just maybe consider using that word now? No? Ok, we’ll just pretend the gatekeeping of that word had no ulterior political motive that bit us all in the ass. Head back in the sand.
