When you fire the statistics collection people for true-but-bad news, you guarantee that you fly blind going forward, as people wont tell you bad news anymore.
We simply can’t trust government stats after this.

It’s so incredibly shortsighted if that’s actually the goal. If the US falls from its superpower status, it’s unlikely it will ever get it back again
These people don’t give two shits about the United States per se.
But that’s where they live, and they’re still part of the same damn environment that everyone else lives in. They’re not inherently special. They’re just as vulnerable to violent crime on the streets as the rest of us, or of climate disasters, or of dying of cancer. It’s incredibly shortsighted
They have armed guards, they have necessarily convinced themselves that global warming is a hoax, and they have the best medical care that an unimaginable amount of money can buy. I agree with you that they’re fucking up, and they’re taking the rest of us down with them.
