“The parsimonious assessment suggests we should not presume malice whenever stupidity will suffice.” - Hee, hee - Peter, you can be brutal when they deserve it!

The government's numbers are always fake. It doesn't matter if it has to do with people coming across the border or jobs numbers, unemployment and let's not forget the big one- inflation

.

They give those on Social Security. I think it's 2.5% cost-of-living increase. Are they out of their minds? Yes they are.

The real numbers for inflation that they say they are around 3% or something like that is more like 30% plus. I worked for the government for five years. They do not know how to do math. They do not know how to do a lot of things.

It's ridiculous

Thank you, Peter for shedding light into the darkness 🙏

Any political party providing false or misleading information should be banned for life from the media and criminally prosecuted. It's sickening the Dems always lie, smear, and show hate to another candidate or political official.

Strictly speaking, the BLS is not a “Democrat” organ, but is part of the Administrative State within the Department of Labor.

However, if the BLS is intentionally fudging the numbers to push a political agenda, everyone who works there should be brought up on charges. If not, everyone there should just be fired.

In neither outcome should we just accept their BS.

The BLS needs accountability. At this point this is malicious data manipulation. This should be a felony because of the implications it has on global markets and politics.

Hegseth wants to audit the Pentagon.

I would like to see the Department of Labor audit the BLS. Bring in some outside data geeks and go through their analytics with all the delicacy and attention to detail of a colonoscopy.

Something has got to change over there. If it can’t be changed then it can’t be saved and it should just be shut down and disbanded.

If all those not in the labor force who would like a job were counted as unemployed, the unemployment rate in this country would double or triple. The U3 metric of unemployment is a total crock and has been for years.

(Hoping and praying you find something soon!)
