Economic Downturn

I want to make a question -- or you can -- that goes: "What will the economic downturn come to be known as?"

Does anybody have any type of scaling mechanism that goes from "blip on the radar" to "ohmygoodness it's an earthquake," respectively? I'd like to have about 5 choices with similarly ranging ranges. I've had no luck with trying to find (or create) these "ranges."

Can we do a fill-in-the-blank type question?

Also, this might be impossible to predict. Please post why you think it's impossible if you do.

i don't think the question will be allowed. to hard to settle fairly. then you have to consider the time frame. imo it would take at least 1 year before it could even think about being settled. you would have to name one source to use for settling the question. i imagine each news company will call it something differnt. you can email the business admin and see if he can help you. john@hubdub.com thats his email address. goodluck.

Thank you for your feedback, dieseldog. You're right; it would take at least a year to settle... probably a few years. I'll be looking for sources dealing with this question in the mean time.

I think that the "Economic Downturn" will come to be known as something other than, "The Economic Downturn," This question would deal with the name of the situation as it comes about.

Give-it-a-name,

Thanks,

Chuck
