You know, it's this constant refusal to be honest about even naming things that I think has so underscored the poisonous effects of the last decade or so. Don't like something? Put your fingers in your ears and loudly chant LA LA LA LA and it will go away.
Folks, call a fucking spade a spade.
Anyway, I'd say this article basically means we're in a depression now, since this is the new word everyone will avoid *rolls eyes*.
Sigh.
