The economy feels fundamentally broken in some sense that doesn't seem to show up in statistics.
Turns out that it's amazing what you can do for the economy simply by putting your cronies in charge of the numbers.
If these people tell you that 2+2=4, you should double-check with two calculators and Wolfram Alpha.
- thesuperbigfrog 9mo agoThey have fired the honest people who reported numbers they did not like. Anything that they publish should be considered untrustworthy. Anything they say should be considered unreliable. It used to be "trust but verify", now it is "don't trust, seek a different source". It is sad, but reality now.
