In my newsletter — to which you should subscribe! — I asked, in the context of Trump economic policy, whether headless chickens really do run around. A reader informs me that they do. I wish I hadn't learned that. https://t.co/ro3bZAzmLJ — PolitiTweet.org

Really really nerdy slight correction: most countries use the two-quarter definition, but in the US a recession is whatever the NBER business cycle dating committee calls a recession; it's a data-based judgment call, not a rigid rule. But it's never just two months — PolitiTweet.org
