Bessent Says Labor Data Clean-Up Should Have Happened Long Ago β€œIt just strikes me as very lazy work β€” trying to do things the same old way and expect different results,” Bessent said.

If only the #Trump admin had allocated funds to improve our economic data collection to potential.

We could easily have very accurate monthly data.

But they decided to expel brown people instead.

I started to search for any research papers he might have done to see when he turned to the dimwitted side but had no luck and gave up.

Then I realized he's the single handed economist. They are all single handed economists working in Trump world.

How can any investor listen to this man and not flee from our markets?

He spoke of $17Tln like it's not more than every other nation's GDP besides the US and China.

Trade routes have been resetting for months while Trump mutters.

That Trump believes he's the first person to use dissembling as a tactic, and that the US public believes such is...tragic.

But hey...teach the Chinese and the Arabs about trading.

What could go wrong πŸ™ƒ

What is modern US journalism?

An easy way to make big bucks if one is photogenic and willing to lie to the American public about everything that actually matters to them.

Additionally one must point, with emphasis mind you, at every bauble the #Trump admin dangles in front of you.

Kidding aside, when Sarah Paine is this direct about the USA one should at least hear her out.

Has it occurred to anyone that the guy who just:

- fired the head of the BLS for reporting employment data
- wants to fire the Fed chair cuz he wants 1.5% Fed funds
- tells Americans that foreigners are paying the tariffs

...might be intervening in the stock market?

Men Could Care More Tim Walz’s brand of non-toxic masculinity seems outstanding. It should be standard

"Himpathy" is what @katemanne.bsky.social calls this astounding structural inability to see the evil that men do.
