One more step, in the guidelines to becoming a dictator, that Trump took today!

[j-mac]

Uh, guy, get real. Employment figures are adjusted all the time. It's not a matter of "accurate data", it's a matter of fine-tuning the data as more becomes available.

The numbers were calculated down because of the effects of deportations, mass firings, and tariffs.

That's on Trump.

Everyone told him this would happen, he did it anyway.

“Fine tuning” suggests a political motive.

You’re paranoid and delusional.

When the numbers were revised down under Biden, it was because they were trying to help him.

When the numbers are revised down under Trump, you say it’s because they’re trying to hurt him.

You people can’t keep your story straight.

 

[Marener]

If this country weren’t so fucked, we could have an actual conversation to figure out why the numbers are off more than usual. You know, like sit down and listen to people with actual knowledge of the process and its challenges.

Instead we have to listen to a bunch of gas bags with conspiracy theories spewing their baseless nonsense.

Either way she was incompetent at her job…So, what’s the problem?

The problem is Trump is weeding out the insiders that are there to sabotage his presidency this time around and you can’t stand it.

You shouldn’t be so hard on yourself

Firing people who report numbers Trump doesn’t like is how authoritarians work.

The one with the real problem here is Trump.

BLS isn’t trying to sabotage his presidency. They’re trying to report accurate data. Now they all have to be worried about whether dear leader likes the reports or not.

 

[frigidweirdo]

Since when has it been the job of the Federal Government to “CREATE” jobs?

I can’t find anything about it under the powers and responsibilities of any of the three branches of the Federal Government.

I would suggest that it’s a role of the Government to provide the best environment possible for private industries to create jobs, but it’s not their job to force companies to hire.

But what you've said is what people call "creating jobs", as in, creating that environment.

Trump has no obligation to keep incompetent people in their positions...

Trump is doing an amazing job for America...It makes sense that you would be against that.

Yeah, you stick with that....I'm sure in the next three years are going to be tough ones for you...But, you brought it on yourself.

Trump responds to his failure to create jobs by firing the U.S. labor statistics chief

Confronted with evidence of his own failures, the president could've changed direction. He instead found it easier to fire his labor statistics chief.

Take a good look at these economic numbers; they are the last accurate ones you'll ever see from this administration. The next ring kissing lackey Trump sticks in the job will report just what Trump wants to hear, and any future numbers from anyone in his administration will be unbelievable.

Most likely an acting, so he can get around Congress and terrorize his new stooge.

 

[Marener]

You guys already tried to substitute fake vote counts for the 2020 election, I guess faking economic numbers is a logical next step.

 

[TimFitz]

Bullshit

Firing the messenger is a sign of weakness and incompetence
. Period.

There is no evidence that she was incompetent.

Trump is incompetent. Firing the messenger is a sure sign.

She was incompetent and deserved to be fired.

If this is how you people are acting now, a mere 6 months in, I can't imagine how badly off you'll be 3 years from now...

Here's a clue for ya....The President is the chief executive, he can fire whomever he wants in the executive branch...Weather you like it or not...IOW, your narratives, or opinions on his motives matter not...He, nor I care.

Just the fact that you are so upset about it tells me it was probably the right move.

 

[Delldude]

Erika was a Biden appointee, and couldn't seem to get her numbers to align with reality.
Every month she had to restate the previous month labor stats lower.
Fact is when dealing with the economy, Powell and company need precise numbers
to get a precise resolution.....like lowering the rates.
Don't be stupid Astro. Just admit you don't really know how things work, and
you just keep throwing BS against the wall and see if it will stick.

She spiked the jobs report right before the last election.

Pretending as if his opinion and motives don’t matter is pretty ignorant.

Of course they matter. You just don’t want to acknowledge it because Trump is your daddy.

Prime example of how your opinion doesn't matter....Thanks.

People like you are happy to see this country turn into a joke as long as you have your daddy around.
