The article discusses the delayed effects of a recession, emphasizing that the initial stages are often slow and barely noticeable. As specific sectors, like trade and logistics, begin to feel the strain, the consequences are not immediately apparent. This can lead to a public perception that a recession is not occurring, especially when the visible impacts take time to materialize. Eventually, however, a critical threshold is reached, causing businesses to experience multiple cascading effects simultaneously, revealing the recession's true influence on the economy.
"How slow it starts, and then how fast it cascades." - EmperorKira
"I have to agree. People hear 'recession' and expect immediate consequences. When those consequences don't happen as fast, they often tend to ask, 'What recession?' It's a slow trickle; one aspect of trade/logistics gets impacted, then the next. Eventually, you hit the tipping point, and it all hits businesses at once, months later."
