What a completely weird conspiracy theory. Are you saying big tech execs are republicans? This is literally just blue maga qanon rhetoric. They said the exact same about "the elite" sabotaging trump back in 2020 by tanking the economy since it was doing too well for him to lose.

The GP is correct. Executives have been warning about a so-called recession since spring 2022, and it's naive to think they're doing it to keep the public informed--that's not really their thing.

They've been trying to induce a slowdown because the unemployment rate is too low, and they don't want to raise salaries. Unionization is gaining traction across the country, and executives need to exert their bargaining power however they can. This has nothing to do with conspiracy, it's a part of the day-to-day business.

Look at the actual data. The economy is doing fine.

I'm not saying the economy isn't correct. I actually agree that it's doing just fine, regardless of all the doomerposting about it that has been so popular lately. I'm just saying that the "exec conspiring to elect the GOP" part is completely insane imo.
