    Idk how you determine unemployment if you plan to dismiss the organization that calculates unemployment.

      That’s what makes the dismantling of such important institutions so evil. You simply cannot determine that anymore. It is better to make peace with that unfortunate fact rather than believe lies and made up numbers.

        I’ve seen people arguing that the BLS wasn’t a reliable source since 2008.

        But I don’t know how you get “I’m confident we have a 25% unemployment rate” from “I don’t trust the numbers”.
