Lawrence W. Britts' version. That is true in all cases.

I presented a link to Britt's back in #594 ~ your comment was :
"No thanks. I'll stick with the original , clearly defined version of the 14 characteristics of fascism. ...."
Post # 597 here.
Either your brain is short-circuited or you drank too much sauce.

That was some Eu-fasost thing. Not Britts'.

Present YOUR version of Britts' then.

This one matches what I presented;

The 14 Characteristics of Fascism, by Lawrence Britt, Spring 2003

Trust these numbers? Economists see a lot of flaws in delayed CPI report showing downward inflation​

Thursday saw the release of a much lighter-than-expected consumer price report for November, breaking from the recent trend of sticky inflation.

Stocks jumped. Yields fell. Odds of a Federal Reserve rate increased.

And many economists scratched their heads.

The Bureau of Labor Statistics reported that the consumer price index had an annual inflation rate of 2.7% last month, while core CPI – a measure that excludes volatile food and energy prices – was even lower at 2.6%. Both were below than what economists had been estimating, as those polled by Dow Jones called for an annual headline rate of 3.1% and a rate on core CPI of 3%.

The November data release Thursday was delayed by 8 days because of the U.S. government shutdown, but more importantly, the October data was canceled, leaving it to the BLS to make certain methodological assumptions about the prior months’ inflation levels.

Those assumptions in the methodology were not clear to economists and were not fully explained in the release.

Why would anyone trust any data coming from this deceitful regime?

Manipulated Supreme Court , manipulated Military , manipulated economy , manipulated American people. Everything is being compromised. All part of trumps' plan.

NY Fed President Williams says some ‘technical factors’ distorted November’s CPI reading downward​

I'm imaging the screams of outrage had Biden replaced the head of the BLS with a lackey followed by the release of fudged numbers.

Did Biden replace anyone after the job numbers were fudged during all of 2024?
