Is this why R "Eggplant" Suave refers to them as "RUBES" and "CRETINS?"

So according to the Orange Jewlius, Democrats like Obama and Biden faked the numbers to make themselves look good, but the moment the Orange Jewlius himself stepped into office, the numbers are suddenly "honest" and "transparent?"MR-7 » 20 Sep 2025, 4:06 pm » wrote: ↑ Delays are not unprecedented or suspicious.
The BLS has postponed releases before — including the same Consumer Expenditure Survey last year — and provided updated timelines shortly thereafter. While this year’s notice lacks a specific date, the agency has a track record of transparency and reliability
No evidence of politicization.
Despite speculation, there is no confirmed link between the delay and political interference. The BLS operates under strict statistical standards and legal protections, including Title 13 and Title 29 of the U.S. Code, which safeguard the confidentiality and independence of its data collection
Survey operations are ongoing.
The Consumer Expenditure Survey is still being conducted by the Census Bureau for the BLS, as outlined in their April 2024 information booklet. The delay affects the release of compiled data — not the integrity of the survey itself
CPI calculations remain robust.
While the Consumer Expenditure data helps determine CPI weights, the BLS uses multiple sources and methodologies to ensure continuity and accuracy. A short delay in one dataset does not compromise the entire inflation framework.
It’s premature to assume nefarious motives or systemic failure. The BLS remains one of the most respected statistical agencies globally, and its data continues to underpin sound economic analysis.
WHAT SAY YOU?
This is why R "Eggplant" Suave calls you "rubes" and "cretins."
And nice AI Slop copy paste...try having an original opinion sometime.
[And just for the record, I believe the data has been compromised since at least 1985, when Ronald Reagan started fudging the employment and CPI index to present "supply side economics" as an unquestionable success. None of his successors bothered to roll back those changes since they all wanted to claim credit for allegedly "booming economies"...
So stuff it with the "you're just a Democrat / liberal partisan hack."]
