This article touches on something that seems abstract but is very important. Trump is constantly crying that BLS numbers are fake when they're good for any president that isn't him which definitely means he would staff BLS and other agencies with loyalists who would happily make up numbers to make him look good. If businesses know that data is corrupt and can't be trusted they can't make sound decisions. No one wants that. Except Trump of course. But we all know there's no way Trump 2.0 is ever going to allow any bad news out of his administration after his covid debacle.
