Wikipedia is good as long as it’s readers remain skeptical.

We are in Orwell’s 1984.

It’s clear what is happening, listening to Biden and the media. Since we are confronted with the bad news that we are in a recession, the powers that be have changed the definition of a recession. Thus, we aren’t officially in a recession.

Anyone disagree, that this is Orwellian, to change the definition of what a recession is, so that Biden and the media and Democrats can claim this isn’t a recession?

A google search still shows that a recession is generally defined as two consecutive quarters of a decline in the GDP.

keep reading...

Although the definition of a recession varies between different countries and scholars, two consecutive quarters of decline in a country’s real gross domestic product is commonly used as a practical definition of a recession.[3][4][5] In the United States, a recession is defined by the National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER) as “a significant decline in economic activity spread across the market, lasting more than a few months, normally visible in real GDP, real income, employment, industrial production, and wholesale-retail sales”.[6] In the United Kingdom and other countries, it is defined as a negative economic growth for two consecutive quarters.[7][8]

Wikipedia - Dear Sir (or Madame or pick your preferred salutation) I know you lean to the left but you are offering a service by which you make money and it has been clear for some time businesses that “go woke” soon “go broke” or in your case you lose any trust you may have had with your customers.

Changing a definition of a word to pander to one group or another is a prime example of “going woke”.

The bottom line is you have clearly demonstrated that anything in your WIKIPEDIA that is controversial is not to be trusted.

Thank you for your time.

Why anyone would give a crap what Wikipedia has on their site is beyond me.

How many even use it for facts? It's like saying, OMG, MSNBC is telling lies.

I cringe when I see conservatives use Wikipedia as proof for facts. It is a leftist controlled site. Their very existence is based upon their original desire they had from the very beginning, and that is to revise history to fit the leftists agenda.

Again, it is like using Snopes for proof of facts, or being worried that Media Matters is telling lies. Why would any logical person give a rats ass what they do?

Why use them, it's like

What a waste of energy to be concerned what proven leftist liars do. Why so shocked?

I think I’ll put Wikipedia on my security list of dangerous websites, so it will be blocked by my system.

I thought this was 2022 not 1984.

Freedom is slavery.
Ignorance is strength.”
(Orwell, 1984)

And recession is prosperity.

Never trust wiki on anything that’s politically or culturally controversial. Most other typical subjects it’s a good place to start.
