Solid analysis on the data blackout pattern. The most concerning part isn't the shutdown itself but how it's becoming a convienient mechanism for selective transparency. Once governments normalize withholding routine statistical releases during 'crisis' periods, that toolkit stays available for future use. I dunno if people realize how much policy debate relies on timely data, when BLS or Census reports go dark for weeks, it creates an informaton vacuum that gets filled with speculation and narrative rather than facts.
Before Christmas, Trump hinted at "employing" robots and "artificial things." So, it looks like they are paving the way to count robots as "job growth" and "positive GDP, factory and labor market activity."
This analysis nails it, the pattern of using shutdowns as cover for data blackouts is getting predictable. What's wild is how the Impoundment Control Act angle keeps getting ignored when these funding gaps happen, like there's no legal framework that's supposed to prevent exactly this kind of selective reporting pause. I worked briefly with state-level budget offices a while back and even at that level the pressure to delay bad news reporting is immense, so at federal scale with tens of billions at stake this probably becomes standard operating procedure rather than exception.
I don't even think that THEY know the real data, so of course, they have to make it so no one else can track it either. It is always just mass confusion...all day, all the time. It is BABYLON (which means "confusion")!!
It's a clown show run by goons far less intelligent than Bozo. Truth of the matter is that this is all orchestrated so as to bring down this country; THE last bastion/obstacle/hurdle to the goons wet dream of one world order and they're ALL complicit.
This also shuts down NASA. I have no idea what 3IAtlas is, but backyard astronomers are posting much better images than the grainy blobs we are getting from NASA. There seems to be MANY reasons to tell the people NOTHING. Not that it really matters since all they do is lie, but it does illustrate what an absolute freefall this dead Republic is in. Fasten your seatbelts folks, 2026 promises to be a very wild ride.

The Trump Monkey show is the least of my concerns. Bread is about to get really expensive if the silver bank run doesn't stop.
Maybe they all want to to on a vacation together. ha Will mail still be delivered or are the mailmen part of the shutdown?

Another shutdown again? Seriously
