Quoted for truth.
No, 7 months is the lowest. Quit with your lies.
- Time from inversion to the start of the recession: 6 months.
… I’d urge you once again to calm down, but I think there is something of a mark of honor to be had in being called a liar by a Trump defender. 
It’s like Bizarro calling you bad, or ugly.
1973 was 8 months. STOP LYING. You don’t even have the years right when recessions happened…
LOL
The yield curve inverted in June of 1973.
The (commonly reckoned) recession of 1974 started in December of 1973.
Math.
(Post Script: Actually, some economists reckoned that the recession really started in November of 1973 – which would put it at 5 months, but I think the broader concensus has it at December)
If arguing over discrepancies between my figures and the number you are hastily cobbling together from the internet is really all it takes to salve your fragile ego, have at it.
But, pertinent question: was there, in fact, a recession in 1974? (answer: yes, because the – here’s a compromise term – recession of the early-mid 1970s didn’t end until 1975)
So that is the basis of your argument now that you know you’re wrong? If you are broken by something like this that is pure projection and I feel bad for you. Btw, your numbers are all wrong. A 73 march yield curve is reality, you are making stuff up.
I love how Blizzard love’s the civil right movement’s such as gender equality and LGBTQ as a progressive company,
But basic human right’s nah. Back to the Re-education camp with you.
Is that not how every company operates? Nike with Kaepernick supports the same thing.
The casualness of the way you stated it is kind of subtracting from the fact that losing China might mean no more WoW for us.
Maybe you don’t care, but it’s a fairly big deal to lose that market.
I would say I’m dissapointed that Blizzard caved in to a country that shows a complete lack of respect for human life, though I get why they did it. They probably felt they had to.
Blizzard has no position in this fight, they’re a corporation, not the government. They have quite literally 0 sway or power over the Chinese government. If Blizzard decides to stop doing business with China tomorrow, do you really think the Chinese government will suddenly leave the people of Hong Kong alone because they no longer have access to Blizzard games?
What kind of outcome are people hoping for with this boycott? Because it certainly is not anything to do with actually helping the people of Hong Kong in any way. Put pressure on the US government for that, they actually have the power to do it, not video game companies.

I can’t link it because of forum rules, but search “Yield Curve Inversions and Cyclical Peaks,” a research paper from the St Louis Federal Reserve’s file archive dated 2006.
But maybe they’re making stuff up to, since they don’t agree with what Fox and Friends told you to think.
Right, because Nike supporting Kaepernick’s freedom to protest is totally the same as Blizzard railroading a Hong Kong pro-democracy advocate.
I’ve already explained to you the reality of inverted yield curves while you have straight up lied. Just go away.
Translation: I don’t care what facts you’ve presented in support of your argument, I will keep being wrong.
I’ve been saying this all day.
Needless to say, there’s a lot of imbeciles out there.

Unlike you I brought facts.
That is not the point. The point is you being conscientious about where your dollars go. Admittedly, it’s hard to account for every cent you spend and making sure they all go to people or institutions that agree with you philosophically. But you can and should take a stand with companies, products and causes you care about. And I absolutely do not want Blizzard to act as an arm of the Chinese censorship apparatus, whether it’s about curtailing Americans’ speech or the speech of people in Hong Kong.
No, you did not. You got proven wrong and kept screaming “liar,” but ultimately conceded that the frame between inversion and recession was months rather than “many years.”
Blizzcon this year is going to be entertaining, that much is certain.
Hopefully for good reasons, probably for the bad ones.
