Hasn't it been inevitable every years? It seems like the media writes this headline every year. Anyone can find reasons for recession if you look hard enough. Who knows. I am not selling stocks.

A likely recession does not mean that selling stocks is advisable either.
'inevitable' yet precedes to list examples in geopolitics, economy and energy which are all the result of choices made by human beings. Let us not use language which describes economic recessions as force majeure - they are the result of human acts, human decisions, perhaps more strategic and pre-planned than comprised publishers like the Economist would have us believe
This is extremely nitpicking. Obviously human factors cause recessions, have you noticed that economics is entirely about human affairs? The Economist doesn't need to state this explicitly.
If it was truly 'inevitable' it would be priced in

There's nothing particularly notable here. Speculation markets got overheated[1], now they're correcting and as a side effect money ends up more expensive to do "normal" activity too. Then we'll do it all over again until 2030 or whenever when we come back to write this kind of stuff as if it was a surprise.
[1] For lots of interacting reasons, I'm sure. There's good economics to be done to understand this stuff, but "ZOMG Recession" coverage is just tiresome.

Stagnation. Inflation is a sign of a booming economy. Unemployment. I see help wanted signs everywhere Huge building projects abandoned. Here in SE Michigan I am seeing active construction sites everywhere. The Economist runs headlines like "Are Recessions a Thing of the Past?
