I'm not brainwashed I have a life. I am hyperfocused on my career, business, and family. I don't have time to be upset about things that are beyond my control. I simply live life to the fullest. Life is short.

No excuse for being so brainwashed.

Yes, picked up in the Washington Times (and no doubt hatched somewhere in the bowels of the RNC or similar entity); then Senator Scott, with the head of c-ck, and the demeanor of c-nt (and who, therefore, can just go f-ck himself), sells the story on Foxnews. Wasn't there a book about the right wing echo chamber? Seems we are seeing it in action.

Except that has nothing to do with the fact that the numbers were altered to make it look like job growth was wayyyy higher than it was.

Estimates by the Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia indicate that the employment changes from March through June 2022 were significantly different in 33 states and the District of Columbia compared with current state estimates from the Bureau of Labor Statistics’ (BLS) Current Employment Statistics (CES). Early benchmark estimates indicated higher changes in four states, lower changes in 29 states and the District of Columbia, and lesser changes in the remaining 17 states.

…
In the aggregate, 10,500 net new jobs were added during the period rather than the 1,121,500 jobs estimated by the sum of the states; the U.S. CES estimated net growth of 1,047,000 jobs for the period.

Payroll jobs in the nation remained essentially flat from March through June 2022 after adjusting for QCEW data:

Yea, I'm not seeing anywhere in the reporting that it says the numbers were "altered." Certainly, Scott is throwing a lot of innuendo around, and he's going to meet with BLS tomorrow, but right now, we've just got a very bad estimate. Republicans had every opportunity (and presumably did) attempt to undercut Biden for relying on BLS figures that are known to be unreliable.
