Subject: Re: OT: Are we in a recession? Is one coming?
So, it seems unlikely to be at an all-time high and in a recession at the same time.

Seems so. But I've been in box stores a few times in the last couple weeks, getting supplies for the usual gardening projects.
The stores have been almost abandoned, very empty. It was eerie. These places are usually mobbed in my area, but not lately.
I did take it as an indication that folks are pretty darned nervous.
If there's some stability and inflation fears recede, they should feel more confident.
But who knows what chaos will descend upon us next.
