“No you see, idiot, uneducated worker, the economy is doing great actually. Now go back to the your 3rd job’s shift to barely make ends meet.”

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.
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.
Nah. Whatever word we use, some propagandist will argue its semantics rather than argue that people’s lives should actually be good enough to eat, be happy, be healthy, have a home and raise kids.
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.
