About this episode

The episode discusses a recent report from the Bureau of Labor Statistics about a weakening job market and the implications of factual reporting in the face of political reactions.

This week, the Bureau of Labor Statistics issued a report showing a weakening job market that upset the president. Consequently, that civil servant was fired for providing, to the best of their ability, a factual report. Why not apply this to other things that upset Americans?
