The only thing this god forsaken country learned from COVID is that you can get away with anything if you never report the numbers

Don't worry too much about it. Even if the economy isn't doing too well right this very moment the national economy is deeply, deeply invested in AI, so when that really takes off it will all be fine!
Good News Everybody!Went to click and this is the first reply I see.
in 50 years libs will say Trump was 70% right
(that 70% entirely just being the ending of the US empire)
Americans doing American things Americanly in America
"UMMMM, when did we become ASIATIC???"
"What are we, a bunch of asians???" when the most anglo thing ever happens, everytime.
usian libs WISH they had what china has.
(but somehow china still bad?)
least racist liberal
i see the US is following the iranian school of economics lmao
it's a sign to buy stonk. everything is a sign to buy stonk
If people were buying stonk it was a sign that the econony was good. If people were not buying stonk it was a sign that foreign interference was tricking them and they were failing the econony, which was good. 
if people are not buying stonk it's because they're being fearful, and you should be greedy (buy stonk) when others are fearful
It's funny because all of this is true historically speaking. Over the last like 100 years, it has never been a bad time to buy stonk. I think it's understandable that people whose grandparents weren't alive the last time it was a bad idea to buy stonk think that a bad time to buy stonk will never come. Americans have been on easy mode for so long.
Other than like, Blockbuster.
Well yeah it's always a bad time to buy individual stonks, as long as you don't have the benefit of hindsight. Gotta stay diversified
It's called insider trading, not hindsight trading.
buy (Chinese) stonk
already ahead of you, have a couple of ETFs with $4000~ invested. Next steps is to invest in thousands more.
I asked grok and it said not to worry about it.
@grok would Elon do a better job fixing the economy better than Trump?
No, you guys don't get it. Trump is doing Degrowth Economics and by collapsing the economy he is effectively preventing worsening climate change.
I've often thought about how much of trumps politics become coherent through an ecofascist lense
They're planning a surprise party for super duper good results /s
Oh good, for second there I was worried that they were cooking the books after all the money touching they were doing.
don't worry about it! the economy is really good! it's the "hottest" in the world!
Sissy Donald Trump of failing America and owner of bad food hotel restaurants has a problem-his government's economy is no longer "hot"
Economies so hot they have to put a hijab around it to stop others from looking.
The numbers are too great for mortal comprehension. Simply gazing upon them would melt the brain of the common prole. The sages are looking for an economic Metatron to deliver the numbers to the masses in a non-mind blowing way.
I had to order groceries today and the price? Yeah, economy cooked.
why do you need advanced estimate, just use simple estimate 
Cancel Culture strikes again smh
if you stop all reporting then the economy can't be damaged
Uzbek SSR, 1986
For reference, probably the biggest corruption scandal in the USSR. Cotton production was over-reported, and bureaucrats lived luxurious lives while embezzling Soviet state resources. It did not go unpunished, with thousands of arrests in the post-Brezhnev era but those people were freed with the collapse of the USSR.
Average “victims” of communism
with thousands of arrests in the post-Brezhnev era
Andropov W. 
Chernenko and Gorbachev didn't stop the criminal investigations, and they started DURING the Brezhnev era.
They're trying to bury the report on Candles as a proportion of total GDP
We're letting it cook.
No, no, no - the report isn't cancelled, the economy is, the report is simply obsolete.
Just massage the numbers a bit and we're good to go
