“I don't believe those numbers. We're doing so well. We want straight numbers. This person is very suspect to me. We fired her.” – Trump

Orwell is laughing from his grave.

… se zamenja osebo, ki zbira in objavlja statistične podatke.

Do sedaj smo takšna dejanja lahko videli samo v avtoritarnih državah sumljivega slovesa. Toda Trump je Ameriko tudi uspešno spravil na ta sloves.

Sound of Klaxon going off!

When the stats don't support the narrative, change the person doing the stats…

Yeah. That'll work…

Firing the BLS Commissioner — the wonk in charge of the statisticians who track economic reality — is an authoritarian four alarm fire.

It will also backfire: You can't bend economic reality, but you can break the trust of markets. And biased data yields worse policy.

Osebo se zamenja samo, če sama prej ni znala slediti in zbrati “pravih” podatkov.
