Depending upon which party controls the White House, numbers seem to be released to support a predictable narrative, then adjusted later.
But that's probably just my lying' eyes.
- cyanydeez 7mo agoNow they just stop releasing. Thats a sizeable change. Even if you have a known bias, we can adjusy for that bias. But if you just stop collecting data? No, these are not your father's red versus blue stats.

- cyanydeez 7mo agoThats great; that assumption can be used to adjust expectations of results. But you can't gaze into an abyss of "I told the guys to just not collect the data" That's beyond partisan, that's anti-social nonsense. All this bothsides stuff is the difference between a black hole and a mobius strip.
