Considering we know the real inflation number is higher than reported, we can know this will get revised down. Not for politics putting thumbs on the scale reasons but a bunch of assumptions default to things that happen to make the numbers look better than they should right now.

I’m not saying that every single word uttered by this administration is an outright lie, but I am saying that I have never had such good reason to cast extreme doubt on literally everything stated or claimed by anyone as I do for everyone in Donald J Trump’s administration.
They *ooze* dishonesty and shenanigans and incompetence, and there are a million and 1 obvious reasons why we could assume they are lying or misleading us, and there are plenty of compelling reasons why we should think the opposite or a more mixed outlook is more accurate.
Hm interesting. My gouge on the economy is the number of recruiters that look at my LinkedIn profile or reach out with opportunities. It was dead since 2023 and it did start picking up again in the last few months. It’s anecdotal but I guess it’s not a coincidence.
Stores and shopping mall parking lots are full everywhere I go,restaurants are packed,quarterly calls show slowing growth but resilient balance sheets… yet Reddit doesn’t want to believe the numbers, but somehow believes every news sources that writes “why haven’t tariffs cracked the economy yet.
The consumer is upset about inflation, but their actions show they are still spending record amounts, not buying less. This is Highlighting their that their true financial priorities, capacity and actions do not align their mouths and vibes, and polls.
I remember when it was the top 1% that was the problem.
Now it’s the top 10%. And the new problem is the K shape economy spin negatively.
Spun positively, it signals wealth is distributing down and those 10% are funding growth for the bottom 90%.
At what point are journalists going to stop clinging to their old ways to getting views and clicks.
It’s always good when you hide the data, replace the workers, and delay the release. Of course it looks better than expected…it’s a whole new report.
Right. This is after they stopped publishing job numbers because they didn’t like where that was trending.
I’m sure economic activity is surging, as unemployment rises to 4.5% and consumer sentiment is at all time lows.
