I’m a little baffled by your question. I think perhaps you are making the common and understandable mistake of assuming that every reply is a counter argument to the post it is replying to?
TFA is asserting that non-AI growth is negative, which is contrary to the authors claims during the election last year. This supports the post I was replying to.
I figured you were agreeing with your parent comment. What I find baffling is you seemingly agreeing with gp in distrusting author of TFA, but supporting your position with a statement in direct conflict to the content of gp's comment.
How I read the thread (paraphrasing)
> Itsnowandnever: author has a questionable reporting record... GDP growth has been consistent since 2022...
>> adastra22: Agreed, an absolute partisan hack! Author even dishonestly claimed GDP grew in 2024.
>>> overfeed: wut?
I think the other guy is talking about things like this: https://archive.ph/7IPxL
since 2022, there's been many times a recession has been declared but commentators have said it was all "vibecession" and the economy was strong. now that the same commentary is happening under a new administration, the messaging is that the sky is falling.
