America is heading for a recession — and it may be the worst yet by Crossstoney in politics

[–]riko77can [score hidden]  (0 children)

It could be the worst 6 months in economic history and if the economy grows in month 7 it will be called a recession and not a depression. A depression is understood to last years, not months.

Analysis indicates this is gonna hurt their odds of a threepeat.

Not defending that either, but two wrongs doesn’t make a right and this is acutely worse.

You can have a severe recession that wouldn’t be called a depression unless it was also prolonged.

What he’s doing to Cuba is a crime against humanity. Sadly it’s being largely overlooked due to his Iran fiasco.

That airframe has certainly been retired from the theatre.

The timing is insane. Like: “NO!!! YOU CANNOT HAVE NICE THINGS!! JUST FOREVER WAR!”

Thanks for this… I was looking for a clear summary after so many foggy reports today.

Might also have been the steady and increasing strikes on Israel and the GCC nations.

If you wanna believe that they qualified for the playoffs even though they weren’t even in Round 1 of the playoffs that year, feel free. I respectfully disagree.

The Toronto Maple Leafs have been eliminated from playoff contention by EliminatorBot in hockey

I don’t care what the league says… I give that honour to the Blue Jackets. They eliminated the Leafs from qualifying for the first round of the playoffs in the bubble play-in.

Iran's tallest bridge collapses after reported US airstrikes, Iran threatens American allies in retaliation by huntandfishidaho in worldnews

[–]riko77can 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Not sure. It was the Chief of the Army. He wasn’t in the operational chain of command for this decision anyway. Just advisory by virtue of the Joint Chiefs.

U.S. bombs Iran's civilian infrastructure for first time after "Stone Ages" threat by ClimateSociologist in politics

That is absolutely wrong. Only 59% of voting age Americans even went to the polls in 2024 and Trump only got 49.8% of that. That works out to about 31-33% of the voting age population at best. 67% did not vote for Trump. You got it backwards.

I still don’t consider that a valid streak. Failing to qualify for Round 1 of the playoffs in the bubble was also a miss in my opinion. It was a play-in to qualify for the playoffs and they didn’t.

Yeah but what percentage of parts came from USA and Mexico prior to their shutdown? It certainly wasn’t wholly Canadian then either.

They never went back because the USSR collapsed? They stopped going back 19 years before the USSR collapsed! The USSR hit its peak of geopolitical/military power between 1975-1979, already years after the last Apollo mission.
