I wonder, do even the most clueless of the gullible, ignorant sheep go along with this crap, as Boss Hogg and his minions throw out data and FACTS and replace anyone who stands in their way?

 The Department of Government Efficiency slashed federal data-gathering activities, and the president fired the commissioner of the Bureau of Labor Statistics after a middling July jobs report.

As a scholar of information law and policy, I see a dangerous transformation: Instead of using data to determine how to govern, the administration is manipulating, ignoring and even jettisoning data altogether. Those who balk at the administration’s wishful thinking about reality face threats to fall in line or leave, as Jerome Powell, Lisa Cook and now the C.D.C. director, Susan Monarez, have all experienced.

The administration has clearly embraced the strategic cultivation of uncertainty and ignorance, in their efforts to circumvent the rules and laws of government.

Am I the only one who has a problem with this?
