gaslighting
[ˈɡasˌlīdiNG]
NOUN
The practice of psychologically manipulating someone into questioning their own sanity, memory, or powers of reasoning.
The same thing is happening with the Opinion Polls, Trump has been showing to be far ahead of Biden until the Democrats became 100% convinced no Republican was a serious challenger to him, once that happened the polls have started to narrow with a few indicating Biden is now ahead.
This shift to Biden will continue along with fake economic numbers, by Labor Day, the polls will show a neck and neck race with momentum by Biden, this will continue right up to the election.
The polls and economic statistics are designed to manipulate public opinion and shift a small number of people in key states that decide the outcome.
Statistics can be and probably are being manipulated. The jobs you posted were probably well paying. Who knows about the new jobs. You’d really have to dig through the details to know. Trump had record after record until COVID and the Rats never once gave him credit so...meh
What were the adjustments to December and November?
Zero Hedge is a wonderful conservative/libertarian source. I too don’t know why it is blocked here.
With these numbers, the Fed would normally raise interest rates…if it wasn’t an election year.
Wish I still had access to JM Huber data for ink and kaolin clay. Those were good tells about the direction of the economy. For now UPS and Fedex will have to do. Neither bodes well. Maybe the drunken spending spree with stimulus is slowing down and back to normal? Don't know.
I do know one thing for sure. I don't trust anything this gooberment has to say anymore.

Is there anything the ruling elites don’t lie about? They only tell us what they want us to know.
Voodoo economics.
They lie so often about so many things, even when they tell the truth, it’s hard to believe them based on their history.
“No is starving because tractor sales are up.”
In the book, 1984, the Ministry of Truth reduces the chocolate ration from 30 grams per week to 20 grams, but the Ministry of Truth states that it has been increased to 20 grams. Anyone questioning the truth is a criminal.
Same thing here.
10 year bond now trading over 4%. So where are all the “experts” that predicted 4 rate cuts beginning in March? LOL!
Also, according to the BLS the country has 2.8 million more jobs than it did 4 years ago.
https://www.bls.gov/charts/employment-situation/civilian-employment.htm
But we know that 10 million working age illegal immigrants have entered the country in the last 4 years. So the legal population lost 7.2 million jobs in the last 4 years, or else we are paying for food, shelter, health care, education, police, fire, utilities, etc. for 10 million more people who don’t have a job. They don’t have trust funds.
> So where are all the “experts” that predicted 4 rate cuts beginning in March? LOL!
This data release puts the kibosh on that. Guess I’m going to continue doing the t-bill and chill.
I’m guessing that the Fed will cut rates going into the election. The rate cuts will be done to help Biden (or some other Democrat) win the presidency.
If the BLS was doing baseball stats, everyone would be an 800 hitter.
