I am so tired of the protest chants that were old when my grandfather came to this country. If I hear one more, “Hey Hey! Ho Ho!” I’m going to scream. We need to hire English football fans to write our chants. www.tiktok.com/t/ZT6gfscuw/

How many government programs are tied to numbers that come out of BLS? Cost of living increases on benefits for example. If they start fucking with CPI things will get worse.
Chris Andersen (@chris-andersen.bsky.social) reply parent
This is just the beginning of the danger. So many of the decisions that affect the flow of trillions of dollars through the economy depend on accurate numbers. BLS was just one source of those numbers. But it was one of the most trusted. Not anymore.
Chris Andersen (@chris-andersen.bsky.social) reply parent
There are independent fact collectors as well. Banks don’t rely on just government numbers.
Chris Andersen (@chris-andersen.bsky.social) reply parent
There are lots of fact checkers who comb over these numbers looking for inaccuracies because a mistake could cost literal billions in investments. They will be looking even closer after Trump’s actions. If they find something that smells, they will not be silenced.
Chris Andersen (@chris-andersen.bsky.social) reply parent
And there will be a lot of these fact checkers because billions of dollars in investments decisions depend on these numbers. Banks and Insurance companies will scream bloody murder the first time they find a discrepancy.
Chris Andersen (@chris-andersen.bsky.social) reply parent
I’m certain this is the intent, but it will be harder than he thinks. Hundreds of people are involved in collecting and validating this information. Any attempt to fudge the numbers will be quickly apparent to outside fact checkers.

Chris Andersen (@chris-andersen.bsky.social)
When the system works, they don’t notice. When they see the price of that system, they think it is wasted money. So they cut the budget. The system falls apart. And then those who cut the budget get upset and demand that someone do something about it. This is the paradox of system administration.

This is like firing the weatherman when they predict rain on your birthday. Authoritarians suck. But stupid authoritarians are so much worse.
Chris Andersen (@chris-andersen.bsky.social)
It’s hard to imagine a worse response to a bad economic report than firing the author of that report. Investors need accurate and TRUSTWORTHY data to make their decisions. Trump just destroyed the BLS as a trustworthy source. Where will investors go for assessments of the state of the economy?

Controversial opinion: not all politicians are bad people. In fact, I think most of them generally mean well.
Chris Andersen (@chris-andersen.bsky.social)
If people start with the belief that all politicians are corrupt then they will think that the ones who look good are just better at hiding it. So naturally they think Dems must be more corrupt BECAUSE they don’t look as corrupt.

The irony is that, considering how many lies have been told about everything, it would not surprise me if there really is no “list”. Was Epstein really trying to blackmail some of the most powerful men in the world? Or was he just a pimp who got caught?

I’ve heard some complaints that Superman is too fast paced. First, Gunn is a very economical movie maker. He out just enough in a scene to get the point across and then moves to the next best. Second, the movie is dominated by an 8 minute talkie scene between Lois and Clark.
