Please update the section under economy. edit

Currently, the paragraph on the economy has the following line:

In February 2020, amid the COVID-19 pandemic, the U.S. entered a recession.[223][224]

Line can be left but content needs to be added:

U.S. recession ended in April 2020, making it shortest on record As per WP:RS

CARES+OWS in lede? edit

Latest comment: 2 months ago1 comment1 person in discussion

Should CARES and OWS be mentioned in the lede in the COVID paragraph? By comparison, the Great American Outdoors Act is currently in the lede but should it be? How important is it and how much did the Trump admin advocate for it? This [1] article seems to suggest he/his admin wasn't so involved? DrIdiot (talk) 03:19, 23 February 2024 (UTC)Reply
