I’ve found it’s a capitalist thing too. CEOs will talk big to their employees about how they’ve had a record year, and that things are going great. While at the same time cutting benefits, laying off workers, and telling departments their budgets will have to stretch further next cycle because there isn’t enough money.
They lie to the workers, but not other capitalists. The only thing you should ever believe from a corporate figurehead is what they write in their quarterly SEC filings. That’s the only time they have consequences for lying.
Not having reliable statistics is just another step toward causing a great depression.
In this one, Trump will be like Kim Jong-Un, talking about how great everything is going while people starve.

Give Trump a few more months and even that won’t need to be truthful.
