According to the dark psychic forces we are overdue for a recession. But we have seen recession looking clouds form before only to be blown away.

I don’t view the GT layoffs as any sign. No offense but I don’t think GT’s leadership has any better crystal ball than anyone else.

I do worry that when the next recession hits because of the trade war, the low interest rates and the tax cuts that we don’t have many tools left to help get us out of it

I have those same worries too. We don’t really have any tools left to help if a recession does hit, and by all measures we are overdue for one from a cyclical perspective. It’s unsettling.

Yeah I’m also concerned. Contemplating leaving B4 but as a top performing senior, I almost feel like my job security is greater here. Rather than being the new guy in industry when a recession hits

We are getting dangerously close to defaulting on the national debt aren’t we? That is definitely not sustainable, increased this year again with no end in sight. Meanwhile, The Fed keeps lowering rates...

Keeps in that we never adjusted back up where we should be.

Correction? That’s a toss-up. Full-on recession (i.e. two consecutive quarters of negative GDP)? Barring some black swan event, I don’t think it’s in the cards for the near future.

I’m having a really hard time with my changing body. 13 weeks, I don’t have too many bad side effects of pregnancy or anything so I consider myself lucky (no nausea ever etc) but I’m depressed at work, my skin is completely broken out and showing new broken face capillaries, and I’m not showing a bump yet so I just feel fat and big. I don’t know where this “glow” is but I look in the mirror and literally am grappling with not recognizing myself :( it’s been impossible to find any clothes too.
