we did look at inflationary data over the last couple years and I think you can construct and the team did construct
00:00:06
a pretty reliable kind of leading indicator for inflation one of the big things that we've talked about is how
00:00:12
many backward revisions there are to everything from non-farm payrolls to GDP that they've become so unreliable and so
00:00:19
it's very difficult for people that are transacting in Market to know what to do
00:00:24
have you guys ever thought about that because I'm sure that you have a much more accurate sense of where the economy
00:00:28
is than many other people we have and I feel a bit ruthful you know with you asking the question because I feel like
00:00:33
on some level we should have done it stripe is not like a full cross-section of the economy you know we're more
00:00:36
biased towards online we're more biased towards Innovative companies there can be these stories where I mean during Co
00:00:41
the online economy was doing great H the offline economy was sort of a different
00:00:44
story so the interpretation can be a bit tricky but then just the second thing is
00:00:46
the strip business is growing so quickly and changing so fast that again you know
00:00:50
it's not necessarily representative of of the economy and even if stripe is way up year-over year you know you you have
00:00:56
to be a bit hant in drawing conclusions from that having said that I think in principle you could draw some
00:01:00
conclusions and so we would like to share that openly because you know I think it's I think it's a public good
00:01:04
for there to be better and more reliable economic data
