  • Sorry to burst your bubble but POTUS is a management position. You oversee millions of jobs as the head of the Executive branch.

    It is a job that the vast majority do not have the skills or temperament to manage with any degree of competence. The plantation owner who oversaw the hundreds of jobs/slaves of the past might have been able to be the head of a smaller and weaker government but the modern farmer isn’t going to have skills that transfer to POTUS.

    The reason why it’s finance, politicians, and lawyers that end up in the job is those are the fields whose skills actually do transfer.

    POTUS isn’t an entry level job. You should have governmental experience and a history of managing large organizations.
















  • They does apply to a specific entity since the discussion is overtly about America.

    “They” changed the definition would mean the US government changed the definition and that is incorrect.

    And now that I have explained 3rd grade English grammar to you regarding how pronouns work, I think we can stop here. You were not paying any attention to the subject at and kept losing the thread and then resorting to bs when this was pointed out.

    Except it isn’t because in context it is clear we are talking about the USA and the current day so NBER is the appropriate source and Im not being pedantic you just seem to be having troubles following the conversation and/or want to get involved in tangents.

    As we cannot in any meaningful way determine when a recession is happening based on anecdotal experience it doesn’t mean anything what individuals experience.

    Recessions are specific instances and when you can easily get not just a job but one that pays more we are not in the conditions of a recession.
