The “revised down” numbers are just an admission of lies that they carried to pass the most destructive bill in recent history. Energy prices climbing, student loan processing up, healthcare cost increasing, and food. Now new tariffs. He builds a $200M tacky ballroom. This is the New Gilded Age.

I think the Gilded Age was when all those enormous Silicon Valley fortunes were blowing up while America inflicted the War on Terror security state on itself. This feels more like the run-up to a stock market crash.

I do think it would work, and not everyone would need to. Imagine how debilitating to companies if even 20% of workers stop showing up. A lot of corporate America operate, literally, month to month. The total supply chain would be shut down.

These numbers get revised all the time. I’m not sure why they don’t wait until they have accurate numbers, but they don’t. Revisions happen every month, I assume because, “this is the way it has always been done”

People ALWAYS want early numbers/preliminary results for anything. This is a system that has been running for many years and to the people interested in the figures - rather than just wanting something that makes them look good - they mean something & are understood for what they are.

Does anyone else remember when the job numbers were revised under the Biden administration and all the orange idiot could do was rant and rave (imagine THAT) about how Biden and his people had been publishing ‘fake job numbers’? These numbers get revised (accurately) ALL THE TIME!!

Not to mention all of the ongoing crime/ investigations that the DOJ/FBI *isn’t* working on anymore. The military that is being headed by MAGA loyalists as we speak. Wait until 2026 when people actually start losing their healthcare/Medicare, bc they either no longer qualify or can’t afford it.😞
