The Beige Book ? economics by talking to people ? is one of the Fed's more
interesting institutions. It seems especially useful now, when conventional
economic measures are having a hard time dealing with crazy times 1/

The current edition seems consistent with the scattered high-frequency data
we're all looking at: after a few months of rapid recovery that still left
us deep in the hole we're looking at a slow upward slog 2/

One interesting observation is that one thing holding recovery back is child
care or rather the lack thereof 3/

Also interesting how much darker the tone is than in the corresponding report
from 2012 4/

Anyway, if we're in Trump's "super V", nobody told the Fed 5/

Trump just touted a 'super V' economic rebound even as the recovery shows signs
of stalling
