In addition to the very real possibility that the removal of BLS leader Erika McEntarfer will erode trust in government data – a lack of trust in BLS published data seriously endangers the $2T (T as in Trillion) market for Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities (TIPS).
TIPS are U.S. government issued bonds specifically designed to help protect investors from inflation. In TIPS bonds the principal value is adjusted based on changes in the Consumer Price Index (CPI). As inflation rises, the principal increases, resulting in larger interest payments. If the CPI data becomes politicized the TIPS market could implode!

@Lana not sure this is just as simple as it sounds. If #TheWorkingClass really wanted to rid the US of #Billionaires or at least tax them properly why do they then keep voting for GOP candidates and fascists? ... #JoeBiden was on a picket line actively supporting unions and the #AmericanWorkers did not even notice. They just keep voting for the wrong guys all the time 😭
