Soon we can't trust any statistics at all... Or we are already past that point already.

Have you seen the huge revisions that had to be done under the last 2 administrations? It’s not a conspiracy when someone is fired for not doing their job.
Mr-Ziegler@reddit
The initial numbers are based on estimates and preliminary data. Once it all comes in and they have all the data they make a correction to the more accurate figure. It is part of the process. Being such a steep correction to already low numbers is bad new for us.
Ricky_Ventura@reddit
They've already stopped tracking real inflation by CPI and instead estimate it based on now opaque conditions. Reality is whatever He wills it is.

That essentially means that America economically is largely going to be flying blind.
BTW Trump has shown just how few safeguards there were in our federal government system against dictators.

On 23 November 1996 an Ethiopian aitplane was hijacked by three people who were seeking asylum in Australia. The policy back then was to listen to the hijackers to descalate the situation. The pilots told the hijackers that Australia was too far and the plane only had 3 hours, however the hijackers keep pointing to the magazine they found on their seats that said that the plane had a range of 11 hours. The pilots tried to convince the hijackers of their stupidity and even asked the passangers to fight back, but they were disorganized and scared there would be other people in the plane assisting them. The plane crashed in the water and almost 3/4 of the people on board died including the hijackers. That is what America feels like now.

The fact that people support him based on decades of a literal propaganda network's lies is the biggest guardrail breached. FOX should have been crushed by the law at inception. Roger Ailes didn't even hide that it was a propaganda network.
Irverter@reddit
And that is what Freedom of Expression is specifically meant to avoid.
RadiateDeezNuts@reddit
And what we're seeing right now is how you know that was naive idealism.
Irverter@reddit
Naive idealism? The right to not be censored or persecuted by the goverment?
Do you prefer to allow the goverment to censor and persecute people based on what they say?
RadiateDeezNuts@reddit
Given the fact that we're presently transitioning into an authoritarian state under a tyrant who gained power through mass media manipulation and fake news, yes. The actual result of the free press was systematic deception and descent into a government which is currently using the power of the law to censor and persecute people based on what they say and do. So, yes, it was naive idealism. In practice, it destroyed itself and gave a 70 IQ fascist the nuclear codes.
Irverter@reddit
So to avoid a goverment that censors and persecutes people, you choose to allow the goverment to censor and persecute people.
glitterandnails@reddit
Republicans including FOX News essentially hack and exploit the weaknesses of America. They exploited the weaknesses of freedom of speech and now they are exploiting the weaknesses of the guards against a dictatorship.

iridescent-shimmer@reddit
100% this. The rise and weaponization of social media to promote propaganda is also not helping. This isn't by accident.
AnnetteBishop@reddit
It’s not just blind, it’s policy induced volatility too. The shift in copper tariffs earlier this week led copper futures prices to sell off 22%. The largest single day move since 1988.
WhyAreYallFascists@reddit
And I bet Kushner’s fund more than heavily shorted copper.

But at least we'll catch the pedophi- Oh.
Jingoisticbell@reddit
Do you spend all of your time tracking the pedophiles in your neighborhood? Do you even know who they are?
OR do you live life and do your job and when presented with evidence of pedophilia take it to the cops, fbi, whatever?
RadiateDeezNuts@reddit
I do not spend all my time tracking pedos, but yes, I know who they are. I check the sex offender registry everywhere I go because I am legal guardian to a child. I'm also not about to just ignore this shit because "it's not my job" or whatever the fuck you're trying to argue here.
They just moved Ghislaine to a minimum security prison. When Trump panicked and outed himself as a child rapist in front of the world, most of us picked up on it. I have seen people squirm and throw around excuses like that plenty of times before. Then, his personal lawyer met with Ghislaine and NO VICTIMS immediately afterwards. She got a sweetheart deal and we all know why.
Here's a photo collage I've attached for no particular reason:
Jingoisticbell@reddit
Why are you so fired up to learn who the VICTIMS are?
RadiateDeezNuts@reddit
Jingoisticbell@reddit
Why am I sus for wondering what motivates the demand for exposure of the victims?
gasstationsexpills@reddit
Yup, checks out.

This behavior...usually doesn't end well for authoritarian leaders.
DarlasServant@reddit
All when we need an update on the nuclear silos from the 1950s. DOGE cut this effort so trump could buy a new plane...rose garden....ballroom.
hectorbrydan@reddit
Changing the CPI again eh? Do you remember where you read that at, I would be interested to read it. They have changed the way they measure it a number of times to understand it since like the 70s. It has been the major factor in the impoverishment of the American Workforce in fact.
Ricky_Ventura@reddit
This is a more sensationalized summary than is prefer but is pretty succinct.
Essentially a number of high inflation items/locations have been knocked off the CPI calculations, ostensibly due to budget cuts. At first they were just removed but now they're adding their own suspiciously low estimates to the mix to artificially keep the averages low.
Effective-Ebb-2805@reddit
Don't they know? Their job is not to share objective information about the national economy. Their job is just to kiss Trump's fat ass. Period. There's zero tolerance for truth.
K_Gal14@reddit
To answer your question, I'm a scientist who deals with a ton of data. You should never trust anyone's stats or charts at face value. Most of the time people are presenting you with supporting documentation to their own hypothesis.
You always need to dive into methods, no model is a perfect reflection of reality.
Unlikely-Grape-8757@reddit
Its the information thatis to blame.
therapistofcats@reddit
Ve heard people in this sub complain about China and how we can't trust their numbers. Looks like we are on par with China now.

Hmm, let's change it to if you're not currently employed you're not included in the statistics. We've now reached 0% unemployment under this great leader.
DiyWallSt@reddit
Actually they did something like that. After a few months, they stopped counting people as unemployed.

He will fire people until the job numbers get better.

States should take power back to protect their own but frankly the truth is that most likely nobody with enough power cares about the rest of us and will come save us……plus even state leaders that do depend on help from others and the federal government before running out unless it’s states like California…….but even they only have so much and it’s being threatened by climate change and destructive land use changes.
I’m in a blue state where we recently bought our first small home which will bf our forever home at this rate or we hope for that. Trying to prep to the best of our abilities for most scenarios outside of real SHTF because I’m a medically sensitive human who will not survive long in one anyway. Just trying to enjoy life and help where we can as much as possible and focus on house projects that involve getting an edible garden going
Mortukai@reddit
Clearly that guy wasn't do his job, or fudging the numbers like using keleven. For the past few months they've been gaslighting us on how many jobs were "created" yet posts of people looking for work has been on the rise. If they say 10k jobs created, I expect it to be completely fictitious. It's mote likely jobs eliminated than created after so many layoffs that will never be filled.
UndoxxableOhioan@reddit
First, it was a woman appointed by Biden, and second, DOGE cuts devastated her staff, making data gathering harder.
And the easy stuff to follow like job listings are not accurate thanks to ghost jobs.
Now she will be replaced by a Trump loyalist WILL give false numbers to make Trump look good.
IncomingAxofKindness@reddit
Just wait till he gets a fed chair and a couple more fed governors in bis pocket. If the Supreme Court decides his tariffs are legal, he will basically control every part of the economy and be able to punish any corporations that complain about it. He is literally speed running the Putin method of being installed by oligarchs and then turning on them and controlling them by fear.
Reneeisme@reddit
The US is being robbed and plundered by thrives and crooks and anyone who shows the slightest bit of ethical resistance is eliminated.

We have been past that point for awhile now.
Revisions are normal but in the last year they have been lying to keep things from looking as bad as they are. This is both the Government, Private Organizations and the Federal Reserve.
Mildly_Twisted_@reddit
he is the fuck that needs fired. Just like the quit testing for covid and the cases will drop shit that should have gotten him fired.
I would not trust a trump calendar that says today is friday.
StopDoingMath@reddit
Ok getting my prep ready, good intel 👍🙄
hectorbrydan@reddit
Called it.
When their management causes downturns they will just change the numbers.
Not a new thing, he did not come up with this, since before we were born they have been doing this, the inflation rate has been changed a number of times to understate it, unemployment changed to only count people collecting unemployment insurance while they tighten up the rules on that, and everything else.
We live in a society run by lawyers working for billionaires.
