The National Bureau of Economic Research made the official call today: After a 128-month expansion, the U.S. economy entered a recession in February. Today, we’ll talk about what that means and where we go from here. Plus: Guest co-host Kimberly Adams talks about a #MeToo-style movement for Black journalists and why it really feels like this time racist media bosses are on notice.
Here’s a list of some of the stuff we talked about today:
“Recession in U.S. Began in February, Official Arbiter Says” in The Wall Street Journal
“S&P 500 Wipes Out 2020 Loss With a Historic Rally” in Bloomberg
“America Is Giving Up on the Pandemic” in the Atlantic
“Don’t Lose the Thread. The Economy Is Experiencing an Epic Collapse of Demand.” in The New York Times
