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

[debbiedowner]

we haven't had accurate numbers in 4 yrs ..

And you're not going to get them now. Only what Trump tells them to do.

Plenty of Biden voters wouldn't of Biden if they knew it was true.

It WAS NOT TRUE. 75% of the documents on Hunter’s Laptop, were FAKE.

But all of this is a deflection Bayou of the fact that Trump is failing and failing badly here. His tariffs are killing your economy.

The other thing that if you read the actual jobs report that is quite startling, is that none of the thousands of federal employees that Trump has fired from the federal civil service and are still receding severance pay, or “paid leave” salaries, are being counted as “unemployed”.

That means that your actual unemployment numbers are not reflecting the true number of people out of work.

Trump FIRED some retarded Biden hack, shocker.

Trump fired his hand-picked, Senate Confirmed Commissioner of Data because the guy didn’t give him favourable data. It doesn’t get any more dictatorial than that.

You don’t tell the emperor he doesn’t have any clothes because he’ll fire you, even though he’s stark ******* naked, and grossly obese and ugly to boot.

No Stalin is more a MAGA hero. You guys love quoting him.

No way Jose. Stalin part-and-parcel lefty loon. He used "lawfare" even better than you guys.

Wrong again.

Trump is now attempting to rewrite history like his heroes Stalin and Lenin.

Though I understand what you are saying, there are different AI's and they are totally different.

The AI that Google offers has a high degree of accuracy as the company is in the business of delivering the right information to its users. In addition, the Google AI always gives an average of 5 references that can be checked. As such, if you don't believe the information, you can go to the resources and check them out.

Google has been accused of being biased toward the left (32% of its information is supporting left ideals while only 5% is supporting right ideals but that also means that 63% of its information is seen as factual.

AI in general, is being used to color people's minds but that is generally done by institutions KNOWN to be biased. It has never been proven that Google is biased.

Having said that, the key issue is the references supplied which allow you to check the information fully. I personally have found Google AI to give ALL the information available without biased being involved.

This OP's AI area does give you some valid and long-time established sources of information that are 100% believable.

Like I said, your AI comment on this OP does not apply.

My AI comment stands on all AI and I’m not changing my stance because YOU disagree. I have no evidence as to what AI system you used or how accurate it is, and I am not going to chase down references that were never posted.

Stick with real reporting and links.

ChatGPT will agree with anything YOU say. Try chatting the AI. They’ll believe you.

That's a weird lie. Where did you pick it up? Newsmax?

Biden created far more jobs than that. If we're going to sit here and pretend that the president creates jobs. Well I suppose you could count all the FBI agents that had to work 24-hour shifts to get Trump's name off the Epstein files. That was a form of job creation.

People going back to work after a shutdown isn't creating jobs. Yes, it was reported that Biden created 800,000 jobs. Then later redacted, oh yeah most of Biden's jobs were government jobs.

 

[jknowgood]

That has nothing to do with delivering economic data from sources that have been established for 150 years.

Your post does not apply to what Trump has done by firing the head of the BLS.

He can fire a looney liberal if he wants. The supreme Court says so.

 

[jknowgood]

It WAS NOT TRUE. 75% of the documents on Hunter’s Laptop, were FAKE.

But all of this is a deflection Bayou of the fact that Trump is failing and failing badly here. His tariffs are killing your economy.

It was true, why do you loons lie?

McFarter is a Biden appointee who was notorious for publishing fake labor statistics and then "revising" them after the headlines died down. It is a wonder that she was allowed to stay on this long.

The Trump administration has dismissed advisers to key statistical agencies behind major economic reports, sparking warnings that the cuts will jeopardize the quality of data critical to policymakers and Wall Street investors.

Economists, academics and corporate officials serving on a board of unpaid advisers to the Labor Department’s statistical bureau were told this week they were no longer needed, two of the former members told POLITICO. Similar committees that advised the Commerce Department’s Bureau of Economic Analysis and the Census Bureau have also been let go. And the Federal Housing Finance Authority placed workers who assisted with its widely cited home price index on administrative leave Wednesday.

President Trump fires BLS commissioner after July jobs report​

President Trump said in a social media post Friday afternoon that he directed members of his administration to fire Erika McEntarfer, commissioner of the Bureau of Labor Statistics, after the BLS on Friday published the July jobs report that contained what it called "larger than normal" revisions to data from May and June.

Controlling the information given to the people, is one of the steps that Dictators need to control the population.

The dictator’s dilemma: The distortion of information flow in autocratic regimes and its consequences​

This is what Trump is now trying to destroy!

AI Overview

The United States has a long-standing reputation for its robust system of collecting and disseminating labor and economic statistics. Agencies like the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) and the Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) are key players in this effort.
Here's why the US is seen as a leader in this field:

• Established history: The BLS, established in 1884, has a long history of collecting high-quality data on various aspects of the nation's economy, including labor force participation, wages, prices, and productivity. Similarly, the BEA, founded in 1972, provides crucial data on national, regional, industry, and international economic accounts, including the widely-cited Gross Domestic Product (GDP).
• Comprehensive data collection: The BLS and BEA collect data through a combination of surveys, censuses, and administrative records, producing a broad range of statistics on employment, unemployment, wages, inflation (measured by the Consumer Price Index (CPI) and Producer Price Index (PPI)), and productivity, among other indicators. For example, the BLS conducts the Current Population Survey (CPS) to gather labor force information from households.
• Accuracy and Impartiality: BLS data aims to be relevant, timely, accurate, impartial, and accessible to all users. The BLS is committed to independence from partisan interests, ensuring its data's credibility and reliability.
• Impact on Policy and Decision-Making: U.S. economic data significantly impacts policymakers, researchers, businesses, and the public. This data informs critical decisions related to monetary policy, tax and budget projections, and business investment plans, among others.

Here is an example of the opposite, by a country run by a Dictator:

Putin’s War on Truth​

Trump continues to follow the guidelines for becoming a dictator.

For those supporting Trump, I hope that you enjoy (and can live with) the cutting off of data, statistics, and facts in order to support fake truths that Trump wants you to believe.

I notice that you failed to address his point, at all.


I think everyone noticed that.

How did he win with the massive deaths of MAGA you spew of? Seems that at least over77 million survived. and since black and brown people were dying at higher rates according to MSM, the blame for Kamals's humiliating defeat should be there. That is of course unless COVID was racist and infected minorities more than others.

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.

I think it was those revisions were the straw that broke the camel's back. But they are absolutely necessary. The initial number comes from the household survey, which includes the unemployment number, labor participation rates, and other data by demographic category. And then there is the establishment survey, mostly non-farm job numbers by industry. The key is both are merely samples. Adjustment are made when all the date comes in. I mean the report clearly explains why there are adjustments.

Statistics based on the household and establishment surveys are subject to both sampling and nonsampling error.When a sample, rather than the entire population, is surveyed, there is a chance that the sample estimates may differ from the true population values they represent.

https://www.bls.gov/news.release/pdf/empsit.pdf
This time the adjustments were absolutely brutal.

Revisions for May and June were larger than normal. The change in total nonfarm payroll employment for May was revised down by 125,000, from +144,000 to +19,000, and the change for June was revised down by 133,000, from +147,000 to +14,000.

People going back to work after a shutdown isn't creating jobs.

Sorry that doesn't make any sense either. Those people weren't all pulled off the payroll rosters in services like ADP. And the average new job additions per month in 2024 was 186,000 . Did the shutdowns last 4 years?

You're just making stuff up as you go. You can stop, now.
