Yes he reminds me of Mike Johnson. I wonder why it is that I always get that" You're a pervert" spiderman sense, whenever I see a pasty guy with that swarmy smile? Perhaps some past memory, but lately I've been triggered a lot .

This is what I keep thinking, too. But, what happens with reality? Obviously glowing numbers aren’t going to make a crashing economy actually better. Will people act on glaring dissonance?🤷🏻‍♀️

I’m pretty sure this Hassett muppet is not a real person. Obviously some kind of AI slop that isn’t very convincing. Don’t listen to anything he/it says.

Oh and regular FOX gets a crack at BLS. Hassett in normal shill mode. FOX- “ you didn’t get the number you wanted”??? It’s not about “what is wanted” it’s about DATA something the WH is allergic to at best.

I feel this way about every single one of them! Even the smirking arseholes who sit behind these jerkoffs just cheering them on while they smirk and try to sell us something. They think they're so clever. I've been saying Smite the Smirk!

Do they not realize we feel this? Our pockets, our friends getting laid off, the inability to find a well paying, competitive job market filled with folks trying to get by, etc… We fuggin feel it. Whoever believed this crumby explanation is a complete idiot.

Well, ya know ppl will calm down if they get a itty bitty stimulus, which doesn’t fully cover the loss they’ll be taking through the year. It’s like they blissfully choose to ignore math and then praise their destructive overlords

Do they not understand their attitude that "numbers cannot be trusted unless they are the right ones" undermines business/investor confidence. This is fucking dangerous and corrosive. What they did to elections they are trying to do to the economy. Post-truthism is a disease.

How bad does the economic news have to be to make Hassett wipe the silly smile off his face? I guess the economy is going great for him and his rich cronies.

Wait. This can't be right. I thought that all we needed to do was to fire the radical left DEI fake news hoax BLS lady, and it would be revealed that Trump is creating over 1 billion jobs per month? Was... was that... not true??

It feels slow to me because I am white, cis, straight, and male. It feels much faster to people who are outside one or more of those classifications. The apparent rate at which we are approaching the car crash depends greatly on whether you are in the back seat or strapped to the front bumper.

His Smirky Grin while Spreading Lies trying to shmooze connive convince you of his smarmy sales pitch reminds me of something oh yeah, this...

The reason the numbers are lower, aside from it being Joe Biden's fault, is that we can't get into the numbers fast enough to "adjust" them so they look more favorable.

Bullshit always lose when it runs head first into reality. They can dick around with the federal numbers, but there is a host of non-federal and private organizations that generate numbers on economic health. So the truth will be known.

He has not been confirmed yet, so he's not on the job. Numbers were calculated by career statisticians and economists. Dep. Commissioner is still running the show. Will take much more time (than Trump has) to falsify the data.

The Commissioner is the only appointed employee. The rest are career civil servants. There isn't anyone left at BLS to take the hit, and it wouldn't impact the numbers. He can slash the budget...that's where the most damage can be done.

Don't overlook the part where he acknowledges that 100,000 people (government employees are people too) lost jobs. Since only 22,000 jobs were added in the private sector, even if those were all people who lost jobs under Trump, that's barely 1 in 5 finding new employment.
