So if the US Government lies about the US labor statistics and the strength of the economy what prevents companies from lying to investors?

#ShitHoleCountry
A $2Tr #securities market linked to #US #inflation could be the first area of #Treasuries that would crack if the BLS is politicized, according to bond investors.
Since #Trump fired #BLS chief Erika #McEntarfer when a jobs report showed rising unemployment rising, investors fear eroding trust.
The catastrophic #Titan sub crushment is blamed now totally on #StocktonRush #Oceangate CEO who was squeezed out of his job by 4000+ PSI pressures. #Trump’s “dive” firing #BLS’s #McEntarfer is Rush’s saying “nah, adjust the gauge to read 400psi” Splat. www.bbc.com/news/live/cd...
Nobody is going to be better off with a Bureau of Beautiful Statistics.
Yet that’s what #Trump is risking after firing #BLS’ Dr. Erika #McEntarfer over ‘rigged’ jobs data.
There was of course no rigging. The data just showed that his policies like #tradewars by hiking #tariffs, hurts the economy.

„The land of the free“
became Trumpland.
It‘s basic law is written in Orwells 1984:
“The Party told you
to reject
the evidence of your eyes and ears.
It was their final,
most essential command.”

8/13 Trump's "evidence" for firing Erika McEntarfer was completely false.
He claimed she released "beautiful numbers for Kamala" before election, then revised them down after.
Reality: The revision happened BEFORE the election, hurting Harris.

Her predecessor, William Beach, nominated by Trump in 2019, wrote on X that McEntarfer's "completely unfounded dismissal" "sets a dangerous precedent and undermines the agency's statistical mission."

"The politicization of economic statistics is a self-destructive act," said Michael Madowitz, chief economist at the progressive think tank Roosevelt Forward. "Credibility is much easier to lose than to restore." #McEntarfer
"In my opinion, this sort of thing happens in dictatorships, not democracies," said Art Hogan, chief investment strategist at B. Riley Wealth. "The president is harming the United States," wrote Michael Strain, an economist at the conservative American Enterprise Institute, on X. #McEntarfer
"This happens in dictatorships, not democracies."
The US labor market figures are disastrous. Trump fires the chief statistician – and hurls unfounded accusations at her. His austerity measures are exacerbating obvious data problems. Economists and politicians are reacting with horror. #McEntarfer
THE FAT ORANGE CRYBABY
When presidents flip the board, it’s not just a game that ends. It’s the pieces of democracy that get scattered to the floor.
