Yup, the president just fired the Bureau of Labor Statistics commissioner when unfavorable jobs numbers were released.

Blockchain does absolutely nothing to address this trust issue.

It’ll be good enough probably for his base.

His base doesn't read BLS reports.

Exactly. It’s all a mirage. They read the headline and think something positive has happened. They’ll get a little dopamine and forget about it.

Whomever replaced Alex Jones will read the headline and then make up the story to sound good to the base and that’s that.

I’ve been listening to Knowledge Fight, and in the way my brain needs it which is from the beginning so I’m at about 2019 and the playbook written by Jones/Stone/et al is in full swing - it used to be fun to laugh at him, and now I can see how he really paved the way for the hell we currently exist in.
