Why would there be a recovery if there is no recession?

Yet life will continue to get harder and harder for normal people

They were talking about the 1%. This dosen't apply to us plebs. Now shutup and eat your cornflake dinner.

Pretty easy to avoid a recession when you deny ever being in one in the first place.

We haven't had a real recession--one where the rich have had to make to with less--in a long time, and the rich are absolutely terrified at the idea of making less money this year than last.

Not losing money, just making less profit for a bit. We've had one long cheap-money-fueled boom since around 2001 and didn't make meaningful corrections after 2008. Almost every billionaire alive is where they are because of this quarter-century-long sluuuuurp at the trough, and they don't really have the mental equipment to deal with not making more money.
