Kai, he’s also illiterate. So he doesn’t know what this word means.

Dammit… “we Michiganders.” Can’t believe I let Ohio win on grammar.

Give us back Toledo you thieving bastards.

You are all learning now what us Michiganders have known for ages. Ohio sucks.

Oh, I missed that one.

Huh. I can’t figure out how this guy lost money on a casino.

White House economist calls for 'fresh set of eyes at the BLS' after weak jobs report | Fox Business Video National Economic Council Director Kevin Hassett discusses the latest jobs report, the firing of the labor statistics chief and the consumer impact of tariffs on 'Fox News Sunday.'

Hassett went on TV and claimed you can’t trust the economic data anymore because all the recent revisions are partisan.
A bald-faced lie.
Every serious economist still in this administration should resign. They are actively underminding the US economy by lending their credibility to this horse****

Wow

Well done. The dude abides.

Any CEA resignations over the BLS firing yet?

1/Kevin Hassett had long ago discredited himself as a scholar by parroting claims about the economy he knew to be false. Even so, parroting the lie about rigged statistics, is a new low. The academy should ostracize him the same way a fabricator of research should be ostracized.

I think really the story of the past ten years was people taking for granted 21st century liberalism was locked in and therefore you could just kinda be fashy for a laugh only to realize a moment too late Skinhead Steve wasn’t joking after all.

I was gonna say planes are bursting at the seams, but that was disturbingly too on point.

And 2 of the 3 that I know from the first list are because they’ve been around since before 2010 I think.

38. Damn.. I’m old.

Literally 3 - TPain, Foster the People, and Cage the Elephant.

OUR GREAT TOURISM BUREAU ANNOUNCES RECORD TRAVEL. HOTELS ARE BURSTING AT THE SEAMS!

Starting to think that pissing off and terrifying all the international tourists as the labor market plunges into recession territory was not a great idea in retrospect.

Janet Yellen, not a person prone to hyperbole, put it this way: “This is the kind of thing you would only expect to see in a banana republic."

The US could see a 30-40% decline in new international student enrollment, resulting in nearly $7 billion in lost revenue and more than 60,000 fewer American jobs. https://www.nafsa.org/fall-2025-international-student-enrollment-outlook-and-economic-impact

Going to pool today so my family can get showers. Please clap.

I was the AEA's President Elect as the first Trump term began. We worried about government statistics then, and appointed a committee that included members (such as Google's Chief Economist) who might be in a position to help make reliable statistics available if the government went dark.

A lot of people hate the Republicans because they are evil. A lot of those very same people hate the Democrats because the Democrats have been so ineffective in fighting evil.

@socio-steve.bsky.social you’ve made the big time.

Missouri Senate leader says special session is ‘likely’ to redraw congressional map  • Missouri Independent Momentum is building for the Missouri Legislature to redraw the state’s congressional districts with the aim of gaining a Republican seat.

It's funny. I've been warning about U.S. de-democratization for a decade, and yet I'm still, at a gut level, surprised by how fast it's happening.

ah, that makes more sense
