When Biden appointed senior management rewrite the “books”, a BLS staffer (or staffers!) couldn’t stop that no matter how hard he\she tried. If they quit and tried to make a ‘PR’ deal about the ‘book cooking’, the media would ignore them. You would never even know there was a protest about it. They’d be out of a job, no one would know, and the books are still ‘cooked’.
Government employees have no shame. The right thing to do is be a productive citizen in the private sector. At least they could hold their heads up and stop lying to themselves about their worth.
