How well I remember people pointing to the scoreboard in early 2008...


How well I remember someone predicting 7 of the last 2 recessions...

Yes, one day, we'll have a recession. It doesn't mean the doom prophets were correct.


Agreed, but look at it the other way. Do you really think we'll never again have a recession? Some people genuinely believe that.


> Some people genuinely believe that

Sure. They’re in the same category of wrongness as Zitron. If someone said they follow the newsletter of a guy who claims we’ll never have a recession again, I’d quietly note that.
