As I predicted, we are now entering an era where we cannot necessarily trust data coming from the federal govt on things like inflation. Something to watch VERY closely for GDP, unemployment, everything. https://www.wsj.com/economy/cpi-inflation-data-accuracy-8bd2a8ae

If only we could find non-government funding for it!

It will all be fantasyland and diamond-pooping unicorns.
None of it.
But people have eyes & will see the prices going up.
The only good part about that is Trump will
be blamed.
We know with certainty trump is on the phone right now with the head of this agency telling them to post a good jobs report this Friday.
We will have to rely on the Europeans for medical data, weather data,economic data etc.
Probably best to watch the data coming from industry and private sources
Yesterday’s ISM Services report was screaming “Stagflation” with growth slowing and Prices Paid rising
Look at Walmart and Target reporting on price hikes on toys, etc
Inflation will stop going up if they stop tracking it.
Checkmate libs!
🤔☹️😩
🙏❤️💕
Perhaps some reporter can get wind of tRump pressure on the statisticians?
They will not release any information that reveals the fuckery they have brought to bear.
They did it with covid.
Same shit!

Now, with the fires in Canada, this is a big problem for people with lung problems.
...oh wait.
People on Social Security and pension plans are going to be financially destroyed by Trump using fake numbers.
A time when percieved stability becomes unstable and all manner of opportunists and dangerous actors see their chance.
He’s ‘sold the family jewels’ but the buyer just realised they are fake…
If they say it’s raining,then it’s probably volcanic ash🙈😂😂😂😂.
What do you need month to month
Is this month's expenses greater than last months
Are there items you need you put off buying because the price rose in the past 3 months.

For all those MAGAts who could “never vote blue cuz that’s communism” well, there’s not a lot of difference between this regime and China: party loyalty over competence; massive corruption; fudged data; expelling foreigners; closing trade markets…
I feel like a broken record saying this. All of this stuff. They did it last time and everybody seems like they forgot. Trump isn't creative. He doesn't have new ideas. It's the same stuff, but with fewer guardrails.
Anyone who signs up to help gather data can do so just by focusing on a few items and going to a couple of stores each week and taking photos of those items on the shelf with the price.
Really, it would not be very hard to put this together.
trump fired the leadership of every dept & replaced them with maga loyalists. To ensure that his propaganda is spread as fact to obscure the corruption and destruction of our democracy.
Business won't dare to invest if they can't trust the official numbers.
Lying about inflation will decrease the amount retirees receive in real terms.
People won't buy TIPS or other government bonds.
The whole country will shut down and we will be in a depression.
Well done, MAGAts.
Stuff like this has been going on for years since Reagan/Thatcher.
Thatcher changed the way unemployment is tabulated to make it appear lower. Reagan followed suit.
If this is true about US inflation… then it’s a serious matter. The Fed relies on this data.
Another reason why foreign investors are getting wary of the USA!
Loss of trust!
So much freedom!
Ya.
Corrupt data used to forage a corrupt agenda is sickening, frightening, and shameful.
They also; stop giving out information or give out false information to make their finances look good.
The problem with that is everyone is flying blind, no visibility and you can not trust your gauges.
Yes, Trumps Administration wants US-All deaf, blind, and dumb.

The MAGA Party is A Death Cult!!
And No one wins with MAGA at the wheel including MAGA.
It's up to the people to take the country back. Clean sweep Nazi,pro-russian,crypto grifters, non tax paying, law breakers, go to prison or whatever. Trumps people are scum.
