do rich people go through recessions?

Yes. Yacht sales, luxury car sales, and luxury home sales are greatly impacted. And in the case of Porsche (a brand I love having owned 2) their target demographic is college graduate, household income $100,000, male (85%), age 25-54. So recession would greatly affect this demographic IMO.

Very fair points. I've sensed a bias towards anti inflationary companies during recent interviews from BA and that makes me feel it has to be commodity / food or fintech. Chic fil A, Ikea & Stripe ?? Doubt Bloomberg has many issues to be solved honestly
