“there are three kinds of lies: lies, damned lies, and statistics” ~ mark twain

Gah that is an excellent quote

Get your zappin wallet set up we all wanna send you money

it cant be called gaslighting when the flame been on us so long we melted into pile of goop.

also this is exactly what happens when you dont allow a recession to happen when it should have happened. just like we havent been in a war since iraq ( and prolly never will be in a congress enacted capacity ever again), we will never be in a recession again in the traditional sense ever again.

It is called counterexample

stoked you made it here Rudy! Nice work nostr:npub1a2cww4kn9wqte4ry70vyfwqyqvpswksna27rtxd8vty6c74era8sdcw83a 🫡

Can always count on governments to change definitions and gaslight their populations

We have Fat Nixon and Fox to thank for this bit of misinformation…

🤔If we always learn about a recession 9+ months after the fact, how does this headline make any sense other than propaganda?

Wanted to send a fat zap, but couldn't. Consider setting a lightning address in your profile! ⚡🧡

That’s kind of how I feel about all the polls saying Kamala is ahead.

Please suggest to David Collum to come here! And set up a wallet to receive zaps! ⚡️⚡️⚡️

When something's too good to be true, you need a PhD to believe it.

Enable your zaps!!!!
