Kept seeing this clip of Barry Sternlicht laughing about a “nice little recession” so I thought I’d share.

For what it’s worth, this isn’t the first time I’ve heard someone hoping for a recession. My stepdad told me this and I don’t understand why he’d want that.

According to him the only way to combat inflation is for us to go into a recession. But wouldn’t that cause a different form of chaos?

I’m uneducated on inflation vs recession but I know for a fact through lived experience that inflation sucks, and I’ve heard recession is also shit so why ask for one?

Anyway if this doesn’t belong here please let me know so I can post it somewhere else, I’m still getting used to what posts belong in what communities.

    Having read all your other comment, I will now ask. What is your solution? You say socialism can’t solve racism. Okay, let’s go from there. What can solve it? How do we get rid of ISMs? How do we deal with the aforementioned christofascists? How do we stop the scapegoating of LGBTQ, BIPOC, women and elderly?

    What is your proposed solution?
