The first couple of points of GDP is all hedonically indexed vapor. Gross computational units, adjustments for “quality”, owners equivalent rent, free checking accounts, etc. Take out that imaginary fluff and it’s a recession.
Like when the CO said we aren’t outnumbered, just look at as a target rich environment.
LOL. Bad news is good news.
