    You are so transparent! Before the pandemic, President Trump was leading us into a great economy, but you can't let the president have a win, so you call it a "slowly onsetting recession". WBJ is just another source of anti-Trump news.

    Oh, BTW I know that this comment won't be published either. [Editor's Note: The Cambridge-based National Bureau of Economic Research, the organization which officially determines when the U.S. is in a recession or a depression, in June determined the current U.S. recession began in February, before the pandemic-related business closures and economic slowdown began. Locally, the Greater Worcester Economic Index, compiled by Assumption University Professor Thomas White, has said the local economy plateaued in the second half of 2019 before taking a downturn in the first quarter 2020, before the pandemic-related slowdown began.]
