Thursday

And though rates have been declining for years without tRump, further declines have not happened yet and might not happen.

So please stop shitting on BLS.

Nice try. But you failed big time. You'll find that I've never typed a single word in any post here Wiz Imp Oct 1 #15

You failed at your implication of tRump interference. "unless" is a hypothetical, a possibility, nowhere near a fact.nt Bernardo de La Paz Oct 1 #22

Trump has interfered by slandering BLS statisticians. That is why Groshen is worried (her words). SunSeeker Thursday #28

We are all worried, but it is important to not cynically assume facts not in evidence. . . . nt Bernardo de La Paz Thursday #31

There's plenty of evidence of Trump defaming BLS staff and BLS survey responses dropping off. SunSeeker Thursday #36

Declines in survey responses have been happening slowly without tRump. There is no evidence he has accelerated it. Bernardo de La Paz Thursday #38

Groshen is not insulting BLS, nor am I. We are pointing out how Trump is harming BLS. SunSeeker Thursday #39

It's about time you stated that. . . . nt Bernardo de La Paz Thursday #40

Your excerpt indicates NO problem from political influence and MAYBE survey lack of response maybe in the FUTURE. . . nt Bernardo de La Paz Oct 1 #20

Groshen is worried for a reason. I think she knows what she is talking about. SunSeeker Thursday #30

Exactly as I stated. She is worried about survey participation, NOT about fudging data or calculations. Bernardo de La Paz Thursday #32

You fail to understand Groshen's (and my) point. Participation drops hurt data accuracy. SunSeeker Thursday #35

Data inaccuracy due to survey response rates is NOT corruption, NOR is it interference, NOR is it the fault of BLS. Bernardo de La Paz Thursday #37
