U.S. President Donald Trump’s administration has disbanded two expert committees that worked with the government to produce economic statistics, potentially affecting the quality of data.

The terminations by Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick were effective February 28 and communicated on Tuesday via email to one of the panels, the Federal Economic Statistics Advisory Committee (FESAC), which assisted with inflation and employment gross domestic product (GDP) data.

    What I really hate about this administration, is by dismantling data and statistics, we’re going to have 4 years where it’ll feel like it’s just one big black blotch. We won’t know where things have been, where they are by any basis because this uneducated fucking moron who titles himself president has fundamentally fucked with it.
