There are a lot of indirect and downstream sources of data, but I think you'll see some of it get gated more heavily than it is now when it starts to show clear advantage over those don't have it.

My prediction is that private economists are going to be in high, high demand as consultants to parse through all of the smaller data sources generated privately by banks, staffing/recruiting firms, payroll, real estate transaction, shipping, etc, etc data.
 
For the jobs data, private payroll company ADP already issues numbers that are widely followed (but not as comprehensive as government equivalent)

Yeah.

So data as a public good is killed, and privatized. That will lead to asymmetric information and wild swings in investment performance or, more likely, monopolization of data a la Bloomberg terminal. Once they get in, good luck getting them out.

Either way, ugly stuff. Accountability will be defenestrated and corporate decisions will be hard to assess. It will make for an opaque insider driven market (or more than it already is.)

It appears “Big Balls” is playing the role of Horst Wessel this time around.

Though, unfortunately, unlike his historical counterpart, “Big Balls” wasn’t killed.

They are consistent with BLS for May and June…

I wonder how goatee weirdo squares that with his Heritage Institute lens.
 
As for DC, Trump goons shouldn’t be patrolling the streets but the argument that crime is down ends up helping Trump

DC murder rate is still nearly seven times higher than New York City's rate

IMO, it’s another example of the Dems losing “what, I don’t see a problem” strategy that is disconnected from the people.
