Ahh…and now we have it. Stat manipulation to promote an agenda.
I remember during President Autopen’s administration the media (and “experts”) spent an incredible amount of energy attempting to convince us we were not in a recession and that our financial woes were purely superficial. The gaslighting was pretty intense.
