None of this is financial advice, just my thoughts and experiences in past downturns.

Appreciate your thoughts.

I have read some things that sound like the beginnings of this.

With all the mixed messaging, partisanship and spin (on both sides), and tone deafness, it's very hard to get a straightforward sense of things, IMO.
