Found the new BLS Commissioner

BRB moving to Martha’s Vineyard and setting up a food stand just to not sell to Dershowitz. Added bonus- I bet the farmers market could use a brat vendor!

A loss of confidence in government economic data by the business community will only create uncertainty and serve to further chill hiring and capital investment by the private sector.

It’s that simple.

Kevin Hassett is a spineless, lying twat who will say or do anything to keep his own seat at the table.
He should never be Fed Chairman.

Also need @ivanthek.bsky.social the refresh us on the old process on release day. IIRC they made all the biz reporters check in their devices, brought them in a room and shared the release minutes before it would hit the tape, and then released the group en masse.

TIL the commissioner of the BLS sees the monthly jobs report and revisions (and shares it with the administration) the day before it is released.
Tell me more about Trump’s claim she somehow rigged the numbers.

Liesman for the win.
Should be required reading for White House press.

Perfect.

Also good: Packers - one reason - no owner to eff it up.

A+ troll

Things you never see: a couple hundred people lining both sides of the busiest commercial drag in the 2ns largest city of very red Waukesha County.
Trump and Republicans be afraid. The country is pissed.

Hi @kairyssdal.bsky.social please follow (besides our mutuals)

Didn’t the lefties chuck Neera Tanden in the ditch?

And the song of the year goes to…

(When Trump takes over the Grammys)

Had a ~ 12 year old girl across the aisle on a flight last week with an IPad. Pop culture being what it is I now know what K Pop Demon Hunters is lol.

Lmao David Solomon was at the White House on like Thursday. They are about making money not principles.

Some personal news. My new side hustle is NY Times Editor. Apparently the position has been open for years.

All of us today. IYKYK

40/60!!

Trump will need someone with a good head for numbers, a can-do attitude, spreadsheet skills and relaxed attitude to factual accuracy at the BLS.

If Trump was more savvy he’d cook the the data to look worse. Fed would loosen. Starting tomorrow. But that’s 2 dimensional (hello not 3) thinking and he’s a fucking moron.

the guy who got the BLS chair is a career gov't guy and has been acting chair previously FWIW

A reason Powell might resign early - he's unwilling to work with fradulent data out of principle

no reason :)
