I don't want to be the "did you even read the article?" guy, but I do recommend you all read the article or get more context about this first before posting what could be considered a economic/political "hot take". It's really a mix of optimism (like some relief from recession fears, for now) and concern (like lower personal savings rates).

Don't extrapolate too much based on a single quarter metric (albeit an important one). That's the HN way.

I look for this sort of comment bobbing in the middle of a sea of hot takes by commenters who almost certainly have not read the article, but are compelled to weigh in on what they assume it is about. "Tomorrow, these GDP numbers will be out of date, but my hot takes about the U.S. are immortal!"

What if we extrapolate based on the last 3 quarters?

Though we should account for a likely re-evaluation down 10% based on other recent quarters.
