The BLS isn't one person. It's 2,100+ professional public servants dedicated to one thing: getting the facts right. They are economists, statisticians, and researchers who serve our country regardless of who is in power. Firing their leader to intimidate them is a deliberate assault on the truth.

Yeah, but how are you supposed to subjugate the truth without assaulting it?

You can put this in the pile in the corner with the rest of the horrible things that we knew were going to happen while screaming for Merrick Garland to do his fucking job.

I know someone who has been at BLS for years - accuracy in data is like a religion there.

So what happens when the next Trump appointed commissioner puts out a weak or negative jobs report?

The sycophants that trump “appoints” will say or do whatever trump wants them to say or do in order to keep their jobs. Not one person in the trump junk drawer (it’s not a Cabinet) speaks truth. They all parrot whatever LIE trump spews on a daily basis.

Trump is getting more and more disentangle from reality each day for the last 10 years. Once more, Trump is unfit to run the highest office in the country.

Control information Americans see, hear. Control the media, information sources then can plant whatever information they want. Its what authoritarians do-doing. Thats why attack media & journalists asap. Chinese only see what their government allow. Not allowed to disagree or argue about it.

Not only that but it means that from now on 2.1K+ people will work and work and produce nothing meaningful because their boss is expected to just say whatever T**** wants. Their output will just vanish into the ether. Same setup the Ministry of Truth had.

Trump doesn’t care. With malice he’s intentionally dismantling and tearing our norms, services and country apart? It’s exhausting. We’re being led over the edge of a cliff by an unhinged, deviant sexual predator. A convicted felon who has no conscience hellbent on domination. Anyone else fed up?

CNBC, the network who's been reporting about the Federal Reserve chairman being a political appointee, never once mentioned firing the BLS commissioner on Friday was a political act. Instead the consensus was the data has to be better. 🤔

Proves, once again that the felon doesn’t have even a rudimentary understanding of how anything works. Also, we still demand to see the Epstein files!

The leader should have corrected the mistakes made. Being a compliant boss is no good. The leader has to go.
