Ep 35 - This Podcast Is A Recession Indicator

This week, the burnouts once again discuss the state of our economy! Maybe you've seen people's various "recession indicator" posts on TikTok or Instagram Reels, but people seem to think that everything is an omen of our impending doom. We take a look at a few classic examples, such as "The Lipstick Index" and "The Hot Waitress Index". As well as a few nascent trends, like the "Old Money Aesthetic" and "Groceries as a Fashion Accessory", and examine where they all started and how they all fit together to herald the coming economic collapse.
