The more that we're talking through this, the more seriously I'm considering the possibility that the reason BLS data is so divergent from what everyone is saying is because Trump's DoL is cooking the books.
Truefully, they've been cooking the books on these measures since 08. Its just so much more obvious since they have the subtlety of a hammer and all the civil servants who would have helped them do it the normal way left.
