Inflation unexpectedly down but growth unexpectedly up? Yeah, that doesn't track.... Ever
I'm assuming they got to the #GDP numbers the same way they got to the #inflation numbers, by pulling them out of their asses. This is hilarious and terrifying

Just saw a great name for this statistic bs: truthflation.... Apparently they just assumed inflation at zero for October since they didn't collect data. This will screw with the next 12 months of CPI data... #econsky
Yep. We're in uncharted waters now
Well... Cooking books now. #econsky
