Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.
The Federal Reserve now projects -3.7% GDP growth in Q1 2025. The 2008 recession was -2.6%, and covid was -2.2, for comparison.
Consider this too...Q1 ended on March 31st. They are predicting that drop before all this tariff shit got started.
Hell, Biden was president for 20 of the 90 days in that quarter.
So you're saying it's Bidens fault! /s
That... Doesn't seem good if I'm being totally honest
-3.7% so far.
Lol, if it's gonna happen, can it really get underway in the next 3 weeks?
The Australian Labor party could ride its credentials from the previous recession, which we basically came out of unscathed, into another term of government. Anything to avoid the Libs (the conservatives, confusingly for everyone else outside Australia).
Might be a bit of a stretch though, since we won't be able to sell as much raw materials to China as we did back then.
Anything to keep the Libs out of power, pls.
It's crazy that people thought Trump's plans were a good idea. Or that they still do, even now.
Do you have a source? Closest of what I can find is GDPNow https://www.atlantafed.org/cqer/research/gdpnow . But it is neither an official estimate nor from the federal reserve.
That is the federal reserve. It's composed of 12 district banks and that's one of them.
I thought federal reserve refers to the federal reserve board. And I am also surprised that the fedral reserve banks' website don't get .gov domains.
Not trying to argue with you, the name "federal reserve" is inheritly ambiguous. I am just stating my reason for my original post.
The fed is explicitly not a government agency. It is meant to be independent by design.
They predict -3.7% if yesterday was somehow the end of it, but we know it's not.
-3.7% would be a dream compared to what's actually likely.
Q1 runs from 1/1 - 3/31. Q2 will be worse if he doesn’t repeal the tariffs.
