    they’ve been saying “there’s a recession right around the corner!!!” for how many years now?

    my prediction: when a recession finally does happen, they’ll say “seeeeeeeee toldja!!!”

      On the blackjack table there’s usually a person, we’ll refer to them as the Mystic. The Mystic tries to call every next card coming out of the shoe before they see it. The Mystic is usually wrong and it’s hilarious. When the Mystic is finally and inevitably right (they’re bound to get it right once or twice) Mystic is absolutely insufferable.

      An old joke is that the best stock brokers manage to predict 10 of the last 2 recessions.
