Think of BLS data as the economy’s highway system: invisible, vital, taken for granted. Corrupt it, and every decision—from Fed policy to plant openings—crashes.
Good stats → Good choices → Higher living standards.
Bad stats → Bad choices → Lower living standards.

How embarrassing it must be to be so incredibly unpopular that the only way you can win an election is to redraw the maps (mid-cycle!) in such a way as to disenfranchise a large portion of the voters.

Cases of measles, salmonella, listeria, and hepatitis A and C have spread throughout the country.
But since Trump's inauguration, CDC newsletters, health alerts about disease outbreaks, and other communications have largely stopped.

Donald Trump has disgraced the United States of America in countless ways since he first entered political life ten years ago.
But he had never disgraced the nation as badly as he did today.
He has brought shame on this country to an extent I had never thought possible. And he has only just begun.

This is one of the most shameful days in U.S. history. A weak, corrupt, deceitful, compromised Kremlinist U.S. president recruited his Yarvinist VP to gang up on a heroic ally on live TV. It devolved into a shouting match.

My response: "The problem with that is that it's quite simply impossible." The only other problem is that it's also a bad idea.
