Donald Trump’s contentious decision to fire the U.S. statistics chief has done little to stem an economic slump, with the latest jobs report showing only 22,000 jobs were added in August - well below expectations. One month after Trump sacked the Bureau of Statistics Commissioner Erika McEntarfer in response to weak job numbers, the unemployment rate rose to 4.3 per cent, the highest since 2021.
Since he’s installing loyalists, the integrity of the data will now always be in question.
If the numbers aren’t great, and that’s even with a thumb on the scale?
They are much worse than this. Inflation is worse than they show. The dollar has lost 11% of its value since January. We are in freefall because of MAGA Republicans and Donald Trump.
Trump doesn’t care, he has most of his money in crypto. He wants the dollar to tank, because then his shitcoins are worth more dollars.
That’s the point. That’s why AI is being pushed so hard on top of it. Information integrity is dead… I have the numbers to prove it.
What’s really annoying is people keep acting like this hasn’t been a thing already for nearly a decade.
