Losing your government funding goes a long way to incentivizing real news

I wonder who helped hype the smoke and mirrors economy? Could it be the media?

It's amazing democrats always seemed to get tricked in to believing something, and then go back to screaming they are always right and the other side is the dummies who will believe whatever they're told.

Just like they were tricked into believing Biden was alive.

Just like they were tricked into believing men were women.

Etc.

you filter the statistic to include as unemployed people who can’t find anything but part-time work or who make a poverty wage (roughly $25,000), the percentage is actually 23.7 percent. In other words, nearly one of every four workers is functionally unemployed in America today — hardly something to celebrate.


Here’s the money quote.

Such a joke…

People at the highest level of govt were “tricked” due to bad data.

All you had to do was make a normal grocery run to figure it out. Very few employees, prices absurdly high and quality way down.

But we were told the economy was thriving under Biden the entire time and we were wrong. 4 years of that shite isn’t a “trick”, it was another intentional feature.

Ahhh. The old “lie and gaslight the public to get the Dem elected, then admit the truth after the election so we can still pretend to be objective” stunt.

Too late Politico

What they are trying to save is 180 degrees from and approximately two feet lower than their face.

If they believed cherry picked and outright manipulated data over reality then they are beyond help.

Hard core democrats are easy to persuade, most have been indoctrinated to believe what they are told by the MSM and their dem leaders and to hate whatever they are told to hate. Hate is powerful motivator to irrational and demented people.

This has been on display in a magnitude of 10x since the election of Donald J. Trump. These people cannot be fixed.

Musk was tricked into helping his son transition. Democrats were tricked into believing economy was strong.

Looks like we have a bunch of bozos governing us.

It's not so much the "data" as who is providing the "data."
