Nice try. But you failed big time. You'll find that I've never typed a single word in any post here

"Ridiculous" is thinking we still live in a world where we don't have Trump slandering BLS staffers.

You fail to understand Groshen's (and my) point. Participation drops hurt data accuracy.

There are ZERO hand-picked cronies at BLS. The single one and only political nominee has been withdrawn.
