a fun game to play with BLS numbers is to go “that’s stupid, why do they do it that way” and then go find the paper explaining why they do it that way to see if you still think it’s stupid, and if you do, you win

We know Trump lies all the time, but it feels important that reporters covering his politicization of employment data make sure to point out that even his stated reasons are bullshit!

btw did you know you can subscribe to PBS for only like $5/mo or a $60 one-time for a year donation, and get access to their Passport streaming service? They mail you a little live programming guide and everything, too. The 40-something seasons of NOVA alone are worth it.
Donate to your local PBS/NPR stations. It's up to us now.

I'm already seeing centrists and leftists sniping at each other but the blame for this is 100% on the Republicans. This is what they do with power and it is imperative that we work together to keep them as far from it as possible, forever.

NEW: The U.S. Postal Service posted a net loss of $3.3 billion in this fiscal year’s second quarter mainly due to “significant challenges out of our control,” including workers’ compensation costs, Luke Grossmann, USPS chief financial officer, said at the open session of the governing board meeting

Also, they can't use the example of "boys with video games" because incel gamers are a massive part of their cult following. Gamers are allowed to have as many headphones, speciality controllers and modified computer gaming chairs as they want.

there isn’t a big list of “likely criminals who are also here without proper visa/docs/whatever” with pics and addresses. there is however a big list of people who have tried to navigate our kafka-esque immigration system in good faith, and sometimes some of them have slipped up.

It’s wild that everyone who wants America to be “run as a business” seems to want lower taxes.
That’s not what a business would do if it had a monopoly and the violence of the government behind it to set whatever price it wanted.
A business would send taxes through the roof.
