Yeah it's really annoying seeing so many people talk about this recession like it's catastrophic. They clearly were too young for the dotcom bubble, let alone 2008. Getting tired of everyone in their mid 20s to early 30s experiencing baby's first recession and thinking the world is ending.
By many measures (GDP contraction, unemployment) it was the worst recession since the Great Depression. But it was also a very weird recession since massive stimulus, legal moratoriums on evictions and general pandemic restrictions meant that median income actually went up.
