You need to work on your reading comprehension skills, both for what I write and what is clearly forecasted in the study I linked. I have the strong impression you only skimmed that study and didn't actually understand what the forecast tells.

I have no "upbeat" outlook, how many times do I need to repeat that?

It is simply that the story is a bit more complex than right-wing propaganda outlets want to make you believe.

Edit: and yes the "liberal media bubble" as you call it is usually equally uninformed, but at least they don't try to push a political agenda by fearmongering with absurd numbers they pull out of their ass apparently.

I've addressed your link point by point in my previous comment. I have the strong impression that you didn't actually read it or understand it.

I have no “upbeat” outlook, how many times do I need to repeat that?

You keep contradicting yourself. You said:

As it currently does not look like there will be a deep recession in 2023

and

Long term gas futures are lower than pre-war prices meaning the market expects the gas prices to stay relatively cheap in the years to come.

That's a pretty upbeat outlook given that neither of these things are likely scenarios.

It is simply that the story is a bit more complex than right-wing propaganda outlets want to make you believe.

Your own outlet says precisely what I'm saying. I've even took the time to break down the points it makes for you in the prior reply. You keep using a logical fallacy as aan argument here. Instead of addressing on the points being made, you simply use ad hominem to dismiss them.

Edit: and yes the “liberal media bubble” as you call it is usually equally uninformed, but at least they don’t try to push a political agenda by fearmongering with absurd numbers they pull out of their ass apparently.

Liberal outlets have an agenda of pretending that the economic war with Russia is not having a significant impact on western economies. And the fact that you don't understand that is frankly astonishing.
