That’s objectively true. The Epstein class needs a distraction and the MIC needs a war. Israel needs a new target with Gaza and Hamas finished. Iran so far away.
Where numbers? There! I do find it kind of sad how BLS has zero inherent credibility now, every report of theirs is evaluated with how much imputation and what assumptions are made because they have lost a lot of staff. Don’t like the shitty numbers? Impute some.
Haha the monthly report is interesting but the benchmarking for last year is a lot more significant in that nearly 900k phantom jobs are gone. So 130k which is likely to be revised anyway is pretty meaningless. A total of 180k jobs added all of 2025 makes the previous years look pretty pretty good.
Why change what has worked for you? Seems like you’re doing fine with the approach you’ve taken. I play with a small account to remind myself I’m terrible at this shit. My regular investments have far outperformed these silly stonks. No surprise there.
