"As NPR reports, Trump officials reached out to the space agency to draw up plans for terminating the two missions, called the Orbiting Carbon Observatories. They've been collecting widely-used data, providing both oil and gas companies and farmers with detailed information about the distribution of carbon dioxide and how it can affect crop health."
These are two satellites with ongoing missions that are functioning as intended and have many years of service left in them. It looks like this administration's approach to dealing with climate issues is simply to pretend that they don't exist, regardless of what the data's telling us.
Glad you asked. Last night it was AJR with a bunch of opening acts. It was the “Somewhere in the Sky” tour. My son likes AJR. I took him to see them last year on their “The Maybe Man” tour.
I never heard of them so I watched a video on YouTube and they they’re not bad. The video I watched he was standing knee deep in tears, and I totally identified.
personally, any thing the biden crew did (he personally did nothing) in the way of putting anyone forward is a "no" in my mind. Doen't mean I would approve all what trump forwards, but it would be 0 for biden.
I do not know President Trump's motives in this matter so I will not assume the worst. I do know he often publicly lashes out at individuals and agencies when things don't go his way. Those tantrums sometimes do almost as much damage to how he is perceived as the Trump haters who never stop.
Chances are the Bureau of Labor statistics aren't deliberately skewed but they are historically inaccurate. You blame Trump but when have those statistics ever been correct? Who is responsible for the methodology used in determining the numbers? In this information age, better results should be the norm. At some point, changes are needed even if it means firing the person in charge and hiring a visionary to seek better ways of doing things.
I read a news feed this morning that reported an increase in black unemployment which the reporter viewed as a harbinger of things to come. The reporter had some whiney comments on an increase in the unemployment rate for black women which was blamed on government layoffs. All this while the supporters of illegal immigration are justifying their stance by complaining there are hundreds of thousands unfilled jobs. Sooner or later, people will have to realize that jobs they aspire to and where they want to live will not be created just to satisfy them.
From the folks I know whose jobs it is to pay attention to these things, the older (sunnier) numbers weren't matching the poorer economic indicators that they were seeing expressed in other numbers. When the numbers were revised down, then things started making sense to them again in terms of the numbers lining up.
As for Trump's motivations, I doubt that "more accurate statistics" is one of them. If you want better numbers than these estimates, that means collecting MORE data about the economy, which I haven't heard anyone on the Right express any interest in doing.
I'll raise you one on pettiness:

Similar to his statement during COVID that if you don't test then you don't have cases.
Who played?

I guess I never heard of them because they haven't appeared on the Grand Ole Opry.

And if the complaint is about preliminary numbers - just don't release those, only release the final numbers.
"If the numbers are good, then they're real. If they're bad, they're fake."
It's very Trumpian, yes.
