I’ve heard from more than one federal researcher who’s work was held up or stopped because it didn’t support the current regime’s policies.

They should all be fired. Working for the government is robbing your neighbor

I agree with the first part, but working for the government isn't what causes taxes. Congress steals and then spends.

It absolutely does. If the normal people “working” as a jackboot government enabler just quit and got a real job- the government would cease to exist.
If you “work for the government” You are enabling tyranny

“If everyone would just…” is not a useful line of thinking.
Someone will accept that money. So, your neighbor who works at the post office isn’t adding to the problem.

It is a useful hypothetical.
The PEOPLE choose to steal from their neighbor- they keep voting for taxes and “services” but that doesn’t give anyone the RIGHT to implement that theft. Other people choose to implement those tyrannical votes. And so on.
All it takes is someone on the chain to say NO.
But you sit here making excuses and encouraging them all to keep “doing their job”
It makes me sick.

From what I can gather, they don’t want the bad press of being that blatant.
But, basically, yes.

is it possible the bureau of labor statistics needs a shakeup because of their gross revisions in the last 2 years?

Of course. I've heard that the BEA was created because the BLS was such a bunch of commies.
I'm just saying that Trump is squashing research findings, regardless of their veracity, when they differ from what he wants to be true.

I suspect the core reason is not the number but the wild revisions? I kean if one has to revise so drastically, then best not to publish the number at all until one has more reliable data available.

Trump probably like the stats so much that he wanted to contribute to the jobs report by firing the guy.
