Yeah, that's the ticket.

Anything you don't count doesn't exist. Never count your bills to easily become a billionaire!
-
He’s got that crazy-eyed look that a lot of Xrump appointees seem to have.
-
I don’t like the numbers on my bathroom scale so I don’t bother weighing myself any more 😊
-
was really hoping on a million thousand billion for next month tho
-
Nothin to this job. He has already compiled the inflation numbers for every future month through 2028. Rumour has it there are a lot of single digit zeros.
-
Doesn't this remind us of COVID, when Trump insisted the US stop testing for COVID? That was an early hint in Trump v.01 that he didn't want Americans to have accurate data.
-
Isn't it a remarkable coincidence that the BLS data only became unreliable the first time it reported bad numbers in Trump's second term?
I mean, the data was perfectly accurate for decades until last month --- 🤔
-
All^^^ No new numbers!
-
I suggest suspending trump and lil EJ.
-
Of course. Just like the orange one handled covid: no testing no more cases. No jobs reports no negative data.
-
if you put on a red hat and put a fork in his hand, does he not seem to look like the devil........:O
-
Of course he does! He’s just another Trump Lackey.
-
-
He himself should be suspended for this thought only!
-
Are we sure he is real, and not a failed AI project? That face doesn't look real.
-
Another stable genius, it appears 😒
-
Why do they all looked crazed in some way?
-
Failed businessmen should ALWAYS be the ones to tell other business leaders how to run their business! No brainer! ( take that however you want 😏
-
He has no experience , totally biased (heritage foundation ) doesn't understand statistics so just hide the numbers. Good plan.
-
Is his wife Morgan Fairchild? Or is she Sydney Sweeney?
-
“Yea, so I failed out of magicians school and then met Steven Miller….”
-
Are federal agencies just going to replace data with cartoon images of Trump as various buff superheroes?
-
Another right wing genius
-
Dude looks like someone entered "Louis C.K.: Just as creepy but thinner" into an AI prompt.
-
We don’t need no stinkin’ jobs report!
-
Nazi looking dick
-
If you don't do the tests, the numbers will disappear. Like a miracle.
-
How can you not trust a face like that?
-
We "won't drive into the brick wall as long as we dont know it's there" seems to be the economic theory...
-
Is it just me or does this guy look like a third rate magician?
-
Nothing like keeping economic date secret! Felon trump and transparency.
-
Reports will be restored after Barron's coronation.
-
treason
-
The average person doesn’t judge the economy via the jobs report, they’re exposed to it everyday. They watch prices, wages, and their bank balance, if they even have one. Suspending it when numbers are bad will not change the affect of the bad numbers.
-
Is this his mug shot for child solicitation?
-
Because lying massively more than once a quarter is too much work
-
-
You know, I have 2 advanced degrees from Northern Illinois, but I'm not familiar with it as an acclaimed school of economics....
-
Why?
-
I'm pretty sure this guy was a vampire in 'What We Do in the Shadows', no?
I guess his busy acting schedule must have prevented him from publishing any actual academic work.
-
I guess no numbers is better than bad numbers in Trumpland
-
That guys eyes looks like Cash Patel ..they don't blink...horror show! Must be contagious in Trump and his administration..again horror show
-
Solve everything. Like stopping testing cured covid.
-
Just another ass kissing unqualified nominee.
-
Investors love when you get rid of any ability to analyze the markets to decide how to make financial decisions.
-
I realize the idea that the White House would actually follow the law is a quaint notion from days past, but "suspending" the jobs report would literally be illegal. BLS is required by law to publish a monthly jobs report.
-
What they don’t know can’t hurt me
-
Let me guess...hand-picked by the heritage foundation. They all look scary.
-
There is so much that is wrong with this selection. You really won’t be able to trust the numbers.
-
Sure why not? The CDC, FEMA, FAA, NOAA, Medicaid…what an incompetent and dangerous man.
-
If you don't test, you don't have cases... Sound familiar? Idiots!
-
Problem solved! Just like Covid-stop testing and it’ll go away
-
What else would you expect from a fellow of the Heritage Foundation? They need to find a better way to make up stuff since reality is not being kind to them. It’s too easy to show how wrong they are about most everything - trickle down economics, tax cuts spur job growth, the list goes on.
-
Bet it’s going to be really hard for the USA to get loans from other countries. No real records on jobs, economy, and all the numbers being fudged. How long is it going to take for the real we do it on our own because the numbers aren’t real.
-
Is he related to Kash Patel? —same eyes
-
Like Trump’s claim that if you don’t test for COVID you have fewer cases.
-
So Trump and supporters like to talk about running the government like a business. So when does a business make decisions without facts, oh I forgot this is Trump. Another reason he has filed for bankruptcy six times. Who going to get stuck here, the American people.
-
They watch porn together.
-
This would actually be better than him making shit up. Economists and investors will have to fund a true source of reliable statistics. Bloomberg would do this for a fee, probably. Fuck Trump.
-
Because not informing the public means no jobs will be lost, right?
-
Can’t have bad job reports if there aren’t any.
-
-
Reading How Not To Invest by Barry Ritholtz. Found his POV on BLS monthly report compelling. Given # of jobs in US economy as well as noise in data, a single month not that important. Emphasizes. looking at trend in the numbers, i.e., consistently growing or shrinking.
-
Are corporations, who depend on accurate economic data to make decisions for their companies… have anything to say about this?
-
-
He is totally unqualified
-
YES!!!! Thinking the same thing. Who needs to know where we sit at jobs and unemployment??? Screw inflation indicators; heck with depression indicators; down with economy management. This guy knows what he’s doing alright. Another pefect “fit” for the Trump Admin.
-
No bad numbers when there are no numbers.
