Economist Phillip Magness slams ‘Orwellian’ Facebook for fact-checking recession post
The determination of whether the US is technically in a recession is usually made by the National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER), which is a private, nonprofit research organization based in Cambridge, Mass.
Which, of course, you would expect to be…well, yes. That.
Not being an economist myself, whether or not we''re in a recession is of little concern. (But there have been several different definition exposed by economists and politicians, including those of the Democratic persuasion.)
What does concern me is that only one such definition…coincidentally, the Biden Administration's…is allowed to be discussed on such influential platforms as Facebook and Twitter. Under the Government's approving glare.
That's not good.
