i don’t think may experts are arguing that all the leading indicators aren’t present for a recession. its not even a hot take. which by the way is a natural part of the economic ebb and flow, even thought we treat every recession like a crisis. and the last one was a depression, not a recession, which is a crisis.

CVS stopped selling cigarettes

there’s a lot more tentative grandmas on the road than teslas, and the teslas have automatic braking and beep at you before you run over your neighbors mailbox

I’m here for the worlds first 240mph SUV

if we ever get our charging infrastructure up to snuff, no one will ask “how far does it go on before it needs a charge?” Instead we will ask, “how quick will it charge.” once these level 3 charges get common, people should be about to get all the charge they need in 10-20 minutes. then it doesn’t matter as much.
