Recession Ahead? "1.4%" Contraction in 1st Quarter

I think I said the economy contracted by 1.3%, but the official number is 1.4%. Textbook definition of a "recession" is 2 consecutive quarters of contraction. Do you think this is a sign of things to come?

Do you think the cause of this contraction is just due to supply chain bottlenecks?

What are you doing to help protect your own family's economy?
