What Is a Recession?
A recession is a significant, widespread, and prolonged downturn in economic activity. A common rule of thumb is that two consecutive quarters of negative gross domestic product (GDP) growth indicate a recession.
It always the same and I know no one qualified that uses factors like sp500 or any things u think they uses .

So based on common knowledge and not on maga invention , no recession yet in the last 2 years .

Ps:but your welcom to post what you think they changed ……..

They think 2 quarters of negative GDP means a recession, but that's simply a rough guideline used to explain what a recession is to laymen. The actual determination is made exclusively by the NBER and has been for almost 50 years, and takes a wide variety of indicators into account. Not a thing has changed, but they never understood the concept, just like they never understood what a vaccine is and so they think that definition has been changed, too.

I know that .
But even in general term , 2 negative consecutive quarter is a good proxy that still is valid .
Let’s keep it simple for those who aren’t expert aka vaccine definition too

Like said previously, we know which camp he is .

Sure, you can point to the 2 consecutive quarters with a negative GDP growth that happened in 2022, but it wasn't a recession according to the NBER since it wasn't a large decline and other economic indicators were very positive. It truly doesn't matter whether it's termed a recession or not, except that they so badly need to say it was for their propaganda. Calling it a recession or not doesn't change a single thing about the economy. It's nothing but a semantic argument to try to justify their propaganda.

Certainly seems to be doing well to me.

Are you old enough to remember 1984 when Ronald Reagan won reelection in a landslide, partially because the economy was doing so well that everyone raved about it?

Currently inflation, unemployment, and mortgage interest numbers are all lower than they were in 1984.
