So, a K-shaped recovery is called that because there's an idea of two broad segments of the economy with one that dips and then comes back up and another that starts off low and stays low, so like if you charted both together, it would look like a "K" rotated 90 degrees CCW? I can't tell if I visualize things differently than most people or if this is just shitty terminology.

@2ck Consider it a neat trick. Sounds legit to me anyway.

@2ck I think you're meant to ignore the vertical stroke, so it's a "<-shaped" recovery. Basically just that the two segments have diverging outcomes.
