Now That It's Official, The Recession May Be Ending
from the phew dept
A column saying now that it's officially been declared a recession, the recession may be over. This isn't, of course, based on any hard data, but just the fact that the group that made the official designation is notoriously late in their designations. Also, it's the sort of thing where, when the official report comes out, you know the trend or fad or whatever is over. So, once an official recession is declared, you know it's probably over. This might be a lot of wishful thinking, but if you want to feel optimistic, go ahead and believe it for a bit.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
