    I’m confused – if he knew Trump was going to be so mad, why didn’t he just release better numbers? That’s how it used to work in the USSR and plenty of people were able to keep their government jobs.

      Because you can’t just make up the numbers, everyone has to lie a little bit at every step or you get endless whistleblowers

      It takes time to build that kind of administrative understanding
