by Bernardo de La Paz, so I'm not going to waste much time on you. I'll just make one final comment.

I'll assume you agree that the data prior to the BLS Commissioner being fired was not manipulated. If it was manipulated for Trump then he wouldn't have fired her. (If you believe it was being manipulated before that, then you're a lost cause).

BLS, despite being an agency of about 2300 employees, has exactly 1 political appointee - the BLS Commissioner. That position is currently vacant while Trump's nominee awaits Senate confirmation. In the meantime, there is an acting BLS Commissioner (Bill Wiatrowski) who is a lifelong civil servant for BLS who is not now nor has he ever been a political appointee . He has served as acting Commissioner multiple times under both Republicans and Democrats. I know Bill. He is a good honest man. As long as he is the Acting Commissioner, I can guarantee you that the BLS data remain honest. (Whether you choose to believe it or not - that is the truth).
