Or just use a different word that means what you're trying to say. When you remove the meaning from words, it becomes harder to solve problems.
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.
So your argument here... is that you're not trying to remove the meaning from a word.
You're just trying to change the traditional meaning and ask people who use the word correctly to use a new and different word.
You've given me a lot to think about, thank you.
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.
Full agree. Why not just say main street has been shit for decades and there isn't a recession? It's easy.
That seems a lot more meaningful. GDP is going up, and most people are still feeling the crunch? That is a correctly identified issue that needs a solution.
If you do stuff that historically fixes a real recession, you're going to potentially make that problem worse.
