I understand causation and correlation chucky.
I'm just asking you for a simple yes or no answer to my question do you think that the UK will go back into recession if oil prices continue to rise?0 -
i don't think you do understand - this becoming a common theme with you...shortchanged wrote: »I understand causation and correlation chucky.shortchanged wrote: »I'm just asking you for a simple yes or know answer to my question do you think that the UK will go back into recession if oil prices continue to rise?
did you not know that a recession is a business cycle contraction due to a general slowdown in economic activity and not pegged to the US dollar oil price? recessions usually occur due to a drop in spending due to issues with supply or the bursting of an economic bubble. again none of these are pegged to the price of a soft commodity priced in US dollars.
there's your answer - if you don't understand please try again0 -

You asking chucky for an opinion?
Good luck!
He'll only tell you you are stupid for thinking high oil prices link with recessions.
If someone else says it that he likes, he'll tell you you are stupid for not realising high oil prices are linked to recessions.
If you do pick him up on this, he'll simply state "you missed the point...again".
Don't ask him what the point was. He'll just state you are too stupid to understand.0 -
Ok chucky we are getting somewhere.
So in a roundabout way you are saying that if oil prices continue to rise the UK will avoid going back into recession.
We'll see.0 -

Not bad. Though still room for perfection.
it's obviously gone way over your head hence your obvious frustrations... never minddid you not know that a recession is a business cycle contraction due to a general slowdown in economic activity and not pegged to the US dollar oil price? recessions usually occur due to a drop in spending due to issues with supply or the bursting of an economic bubble. again none of these are pegged to the price of a soft commodity priced in US dollars.0
