Trump fires person in charge of jobs report
The public---at least members of the public with some connection to reality, which necessarily leaves out MAGAnistas---were given an education over the weekend as to how the BLS jobs number is determined. It looks like Trump is going to have to fire hundreds of people, as well as rewrite computer code involved in running algorithms on the collected data. It also turns out the BLS Director does not even get the draft data until Wednesday of the week the report is to be reported. Now the hundreds of human beings involved in the data collection would know if what the final report is differs from what was collected, and nobody voiced any complaint about what was reported last Friday. Firing the messenger for doing their job properly has become a key tactic of this fantasy-driven Administration. Recall that a 30 year veteran in the intel community (Mike Collins) was fired from ODNI, as was the former #2 at ODNI (Sue Gordon) because they both gathered and collated intel whose conclusion differed from Trump's baseless gut feel. Now Erika McEnterfer was fired because the actual data---as gathered by hundrds of Dept of Labor civil servants---revealed that the supposed great economy is not actually so great. Trump lost face, and given his level of woeful personal insecurity, that is something with which he cannot live. Tulsi Gabbard was put in the penalty box just before the Iran strike, because she reported the actual intelligence which estimated Iran was a few years away from a workable nuclear bomb. She quickly recanted and agreed Trump knows best. And why not? I mean, a guy who could stop the greatest Holocaust in human history---the 7 million slaughtered in Rwanda in 1994 (sic)---was finally stopped by Trump (then just a casino owner filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection) as he claimed in his Scottish presser last week, certainly has some sort of clairvoyant insight into what the mullahs are up to in a country he unlikely cannot point out on a map. We are getting to the point where perhaps we can fire everybody who does any job according to the rules, and anyone who uses the skills that allowed them to be hired, because reports will just be what Trump wants them to be. It isn't hard to imagine---given Trump's penchant for both mendacity and hyperbole, that in a nation with a workforce of around 170,000,000, a future BLS report will say "2 billion new jobs were created last month." When it comes time to announce GDP numbers, I won't be surprised if it is announced that the economy grew 138% in the latest Quarter. The new BLS Chief will likely give Trump a call before the report is issued and ask, "What do you need the number to be, your Majesty?" Of course MAGAnistas will believe all of what spews from Trump's addled brain and delicate ego-driven gaping maw. Yea...last Friday's revisions are "rigged" and Trump shot a gross 69 over the weekend on the golf course (which means a 71, given his claimed handicap of 2). Frankly, Trump will have to do better if he wants to channel Kim il Song, the previous North Korean leader who "reportedly" shot in the high 30s in his first ever attempt at golf, shooting 7 or 8 holes-in-one in his round. Trump already has the groveling sycophants who clap liked trained seals whenever he says anything, just as North Korea's leaders have generals and officials who do that. Now Trump just needs to be more bold...and go after that 8 holes-in-one in a single round that set the gold standard of fantasy and hyperbole. -

Lazada 7 day returns?
Yes, happened to me sometimes. The best for me was to call the help desk (Bangkok) personally (good English) and sort it out. After that no problem with the return -
