“Two weeks” origin story.

Voters Were Right About the Economy. The Data Was Wrong. Here’s why unemployment is higher, wages are lower and growth less robust than government statistics suggest.

If they are out there, kudos to the script writers of Schitt's Creek for proving this former librarian and lifelong reader wrong every time I was convinced Moira was spouting made-up words every fifth episode or so. I enjoyed looking them up.
