Angelia reports that learning that we are not technically in a recession in the strictest economic statistical sense really doesn’t help her much:

For years, I’ve defined recession as a financial condition causing stress-related indigestion, sensation of lightheadedness at the gas pump/Wal-Mart, and a recurrence of aberrant thoughts, such as: “Hmmm, generic Peanut Butter isn’t so bad.”

Turns out, these aren’t symptoms of a recession at all.
