Inflation seems to be creeping up. Unemployment is reasonably low. How is this justified, in light of what the Fed did in similar situations, and with respect to the recent "soft landing" of the economy, something that's very rarely been done in the past

If you remove tech, healthcare, and real estate, we are in a recession [0]

Has there ever been a period of time where we're not in recession if you cherry pick which Industries to pull out?

Not recently when not in a recession. Literally every recession indicator has been flagged since May.
