Trump wants voters to believe America is ungovernable, and that the only solution is an authoritarian like him taking over.

Business operations tenet: what you measure, you manage. Losing the integrity of the economic data, businesses will be unable to effectively plan and respond.
I want to remind everyone as we discuss the CPI/inflation numbers today, from July 30: "The Bureau of Labor Statistics is reducing or ending the collection of data that is used to calculate the Consumer Price Index." www.nytimes.com/2025/07/30/b...
