Depends on severity really, they are bound to happen.
This is true, didn't think of that, though a recession tends to hurt one's chances.

It doesn't really, if the recession hits in 2021 then there'll be a dip, sure, but loads of time for recovery by promotimg stimulus and whathaveyou. 2022 is a tad trickier and you'd have to give up on the midterms wholesale, but that doesn't rule out 2024.
