While that is, of course, good news, what's your sense of where we are with knowing where this economy is going?

Courtney, if you could reach into the guts of the federal statistical system, what piece of data would you most like to see right about now?

Yeah.

Okay.

I want to do a little Kremlinology on the Fed for a second.

And here's the premise.

You two are both longtime Fed watchers.

You've been studying and reporting on the central bank for a long time.

There is, as the three of us know, a growing amount of dissent within the central bank.

And this is a central bank that really prides itself and has for years on having a unified, easy to understand message for the markets and to the consumers.

Kate, you get to go first.

How much does this new-ish revelation of disagreement among Fed governors and central bank presidents, the regional presidents, how much does that really matter?

You got like 30 seconds.

Courtney, over to you with an emphasis on that diverging in different directions thing that Kate said.

That's important.

Great stuff on this Friday.

Thanks, you two.
