Sad state of affairs....
or maybe it's just poor vocabulary....

But here I am, at one of the the world's most prestigious Business Schools. Sitting outside absorbing some vitamin D. The campus is gearing up for commencement on Thursday. Some of the speakers are practicing at the podium.

I distinctly heard one of this year's graduates say that he and his classmates were graduating during a recession.


Um....

Revoke his diploma.

A recession is 2 consecutive quarters of negative GDP.

We haven't had that since September of last year.
