Trump will install a stooge to head the Bureau of Labor Statistics whose only job will be to call Trump every quarter and ask his master what he wants the job numbers to be.

Every Republican accusation is a confession, example infinity + 1.

Trump is a doodoohead and I don't trust anything he does, but the BLS numbers have been garbage for years and the revisions have been all over the place.

I have 0% confidence the replacement person is going to be any better though.

Every month it'll be the best job numbers anyone's ever seen. More job growth than under any president ever. Eventually there'll be a month where we added more jobs than there are people in the United States.

You're not allowed to point out that she's being fired for inflating May and June by 10x and then needing to revise them down by 90%, the mob has already decided that it's because the July numbers looked weak.

Seriously, how does that mistake even happen.

The mainstream media also had a field day with "Biden old" shit after the debate, and now we've had 6 months of President Pudding-Brains with essentially no comment on that from the mainstream media.

The fix is in.

I've been using BLS data for my job for almost a decade and a half, this is troubling to see them exerting direct pressure on what has previously been a great department.

I'm hoping the staff at BLS figure out a way to keep things working well, despite this interference.
