This thread is to document the current stagflation and the Biden caused recession. So anything on those topics is good though please avoid off topic spam.
I will start use off by pointing out Q1 of 2022 was revised downward to -1.6% so the economy contracted. We now have multiple banks saying Q2 is also going to be negative which means there are two consecutive quarters of economic contraction; which is the definition of a recession. Not only are we in recession but officially inflation is 8.6% (if we used the same calculations used in 1980 it is around 15% which is the worst in American history).
So FJB and let's kick it off.
