Played my next #battletech contract battle last night. Assault. It was brutal, but I won. My Nightsky got cored, but I was able to take down the OpFor Nighsky, so it's really a trade. I also was able to salvage the Starslayer. No one died, luckily, and the employer pays for all repairs.

Confirmation from the former BLS commissioner that there could be some jobs data from the establishment survey (nonfarm payrolls) gathered retroactively for October, but not for the household survey (unemployment rate) or CPI.
BLS has been damaged badly by DOGE and shutdown, trying to recover.

Allow me to translate. October data was not collected as field staff were all furloughed. In some cases, that data can be recovered from businesses. In other cases, the window to collect the data has closed (consumer prices, labor force status) and the data hole may be permanent.

Still waiting for Congress to go through its steps, but the House is voting soon about re-opening the government, so
if that goes through and Trump signs, then things should start to reopen in a few days.
Unclear how long it will take for services, including air travel, to return to normal.

White House said we likely won't ever get October employment or CPI data, as no one was around to collect much of it: jobs data from companies could possibly be backfilled, but household and CPI surveys can’t be.
Stock indices are pretty quiet today, with the broader market doing a bit better.
