Why the recession we may or may not be heading for won't be that bad 💪
An update on three massive economic tailwinds 💨

This is because the slowdown we’re experiencing right now is not the result of financial excesses on the part of consumers and businesses, which would’ve increased the risk of the bottom falling out of the economy.
