When you fire the statistics collection people for true-but-bad news, you guarantee that you fly blind going forward, as people wont tell you bad news anymore.
We simply can’t trust government stats after this.
Because he has the Epstein files?
Because he doesn’t want to hear the bad news about his policies causing unemployment
Can’t have weak data if you have no data
“If it weren’t for weak data we’d have no data at all.”
“I have directed my Team to fire this Biden Political Appointee, IMMEDIATELY,” Trump said on social media Friday, accusing her, without evidence, of politicizing the jobs report. “She will be replaced with someone much more competent and qualified. Important numbers like this must be fair and accurate, they can’t be manipulated for [any] political purposes [other than my own].”
He then added, “Thank you for your attention on this matter!”
Because clearly the statistics are the problem and not he and his goons ratfucking the entire economy again.
Okay, I just posted his quote from the Bloomberg article to make fun of it. But I have to say that I am very disappointed in CNBC for not including the last sentence. “Important numbers like this must be fair and accurate, they can’t be manipulated for political purposes.”Are they trying to make him look reasonable here by not including the blatantly hypocritical last sentence?He is accusing this woman of altering the job numbers without any evidence at all while absolutely everyone who has their head even partway out of their own ass knows that any appointee he chooses will be cooking the books for him from day one.Edit: I reacted too quickly, It is included in the article. It’s just further down.
They did include it, it’s just below the image:
Thanks, I missed that.
So then his goal is to surround himself with people that will lie to him… And he thinks that won’t come back to bite him in the ass
I was wondering when he’d start doing this shit. He cooked the books for his own businesses, why wouldn’t he do the same thing here.
Won’t this shit hurt the dollar more and more. Why would anyone buy bonds from an entity who is cooking the books? I wouldn’t buy stock in a company that was lying about their financial performance.
Won’t this shit hurt the dollar more and more.
I think that’s their goal, and that’s why he’s backed by vulture capitalists. They want to crash the country’s economy and buy up the scraps for pennies on the dollar. Sorry, for Trumpcoins on the dollar.
It’s so incredibly shortsighted if that’s actually the goal. If the US falls from its superpower status, it’s unlikely it will ever get it back again
These people don’t give two shits about the United States per se.
But that’s where they live, and they’re still part of the same damn environment that everyone else lives in. They’re not inherently special. They’re just as vulnerable to violent crime on the streets as the rest of us, or of climate disasters, or of dying of cancer. It’s incredibly shortsighted
They’re just as vulnerable to violent crime on the streets as the rest of us, or of climate disasters, or of dying of cancer.
They have armed guards, they have necessarily convinced themselves that global warming is a hoax, and they have the best medical care that an unimaginable amount of money can buy. I agree with you that they’re fucking up, and they’re taking the rest of us down with them.
I seem to recall that there is a proverb about how doing this is a great idea. Or is it the other way around?
Of course not. That’s the point. Fudge your own numbers to make Dems look worse by comparison, keep govt employees afraid of you, and further weaken public trust in government institutions. Win-win-win.
It is for Russia…
expect a lot more of the “ostrich syndrome” from this admin. Can’t tell your glorious leader the bad news otherwise you’ll lose your job OR eventually, soon, they’ll just send you either to florida or the nearest tallest window they can find.
fake it till you make it?
, it z, s. , I , t5… to z,****
Stalin would be proud, great work Krasnov!
Ok, so, fuck it, I’m Moodys now.
From now on I am downgrading the BLS Jobs Report Data Quality Rating from Baa- to Ca.
What a fucking joke.
