I say go for it. Housing bubble needs to pop. Bonus points if the privacy-robbing tech industry falls alongside it.

A recession can be a good thing. At the end of the day, recessions are the only times when carbon emissions have gone down and income inequality has fallen.

If a recession could swing the US far to the left nationally (public health insurance, more public transport spending, more restrictions on employers’ working hours/time off) this would also be wonderful.

The US elected a chaos president — the backlash against him should be spectacular if the economy dumps.
