*SPECIAL ODD LOTS* @tracyalloway and I talked to former BLS Commissioner @BeachWW453 -- who was appointed by Trump in 2017 -- about Trump's firing of the BLS Chief, the politicization of economic data, and why and how labor data gets revised each month

We talked about: - The history of the BLS Chief position - What it would take to improve economic data collection - The economic signal from monthly revisions - The dangers if BLS data can't be trusted or is seen as tainted Bill is a must listen on this topic ++

And I highly recommend listening to our episode with @BeachWW453 from April, where we talked about the ongoing degradation of US data quality, and what it would take to turn it around
