Could you explain? What about this report pushes you toward not believing the numbers?

Could you explain? What about this report pushes you toward not believing the numbers?
- aaomidi 4mo agoIt’s not this report specifically but the other stuff the admin has done with the BLS.
- bigstrat2003 4mo agoIt's unfortunately not limited to the current administration. We've had the government telling us to not trust our lying eyes about inflation at least since the Biden administration. At the time government officials were reassuring everyone that there wasn't inflation while everyone could see the prices going up everywhere.
- aaomidi 4mo agoBLS was not gutted then. I have no love for Biden. I didn’t vote for him/kamala in the last election. However I can also recognize that these two are not the same situation.
- miltonlost 4mo agoNot so much THIS report, but you can't trust any data that the Trump administration puts out after all the blantant corruption. Remember the Sharpie on the hurricane chart?
- ortusdux 4mo agoIt's more the messenger than the message. Or in this case the people funding and staffing the messenger, and who desperately need this number to be as low as possible.
- jmull 4mo agoThe current administration fires people leading BLS when it reports numbers they don't like, regardless of the merit of the numbers.
