Recession is one of those words like Abortion where everybody has their own definition.

The US officially [1] goes by what NBER says and NBER doesn't call recessions/etc until several quarters after it starts. So any talk right now is speculation and you may speculate correctly but you might not.

I didn't realize the definition of "abortion" was up for debate, I thought merely the parameters defining when it should or shouldn't be allowed were.
