Ask HN: Which startups are thriving in the downturn?
I find the whole &quot;economic gloom&quot; sentiment a bit odd. We&#x27;re at extremely low unemployment, and GDP took a small dip in Q1&#x2F;Q2 but is projected to start growing again in the second half of the year. The S&amp;P 500 is down less than 10% from it&#x27;s all-time high.<p>Inflation was an issue for a while, but a lot of that seemed to be driven more by temporary supply constraints in certain sectors than any actual currency devaluation, and inflation already seems to be dying down anyway. The recent interest rate hikes also didn&#x27;t seem to have nearly as much impact on the markets as everyone feared they would.<p>What exactly is everyone so scared about that we all seem to think the economy is headed for a major recession?
