The chief executive of RH, known as Restoration Hardware, Gary Friedman, said we are in a recession during an investor call on Thursday, calling anyone who thinks this is not a recession “crazy,”
‘I don’t know, people keep saying, are we going to be in a recession? We’re in a recession,’
‘Anybody who thinks we’re not in a recession is crazy. The housing market is in a recession, and it’s just getting started. So it’s probably going to be a difficult 12 to 18 months in our industry,’ he said.

The Daily Mail reported that despite 8.5% inflation and a contracting economy, Joe Biden insists that we are not in a recession. However, US household wealth, figured by subtracting debts from assets, dropped $6.1 trillion from $149.9 trillion at the end of March to $143.8 trillion at the end of June in a second consecutive quarterly decline.
The federal government debt also increased at a rate of 5.6 percent in the second consecutive quarter. Government debt increased by over 10 percent in the first quarter.
No recession risk? Twitter lit up with frustration over the woes of the economic recession as contractions in all sectors rose.

But he continues to insist that “America is back and America’s leading the way”
