Re:Why Firms Are Struggling with the U.S. Economy’s Soft Lan... by graycat on Saturday February 18, 2023 @01:32PM (#34849597)
I'd like some good content on business, the economy, and finance, and I tried that HBR article.

We will/won't have a "soft landing"? Okay question. Let's have some meaningful information for an answer.

In the article I saw a lot of words, very little numerical data, no meaningful graphs of data over time, and nothing at all on the supposed economic theory mentioned.

It looks like the article was some especially light version of some recent mainstream media headlines, that is, about as serious about business, ... as, hmm, the last Super Bowl half time show.

Net, HBR seems just determined, feet locked deep in reinforced concrete, to be light entertainment, trivial, and useless for meaningful information about the economy, etc. HBR believes that there is a law against publishing meaningful content about business, the economy, ...?

HBR, here is some breaking news: The Internet has arrived. The mainstream media centuries old nearly uniform practice trying to get as many eyeballs from just the mass audience is ending. Instead, the audience is splitting into partitions. Some of the partitions will actually have some meaningful content. The HBR can keep writing like the news did in the 1950s, 1930s, 1920s, ..., Franklin, etc., but some meaningful sources are in line to grab nearly all the HBR audience.

They can't provide data because it would contradict the story they're pushing about companies "struggling".
