    All of it. One of the hallmarks of authoritarianism is a refusal to acknowledge how good or bad the government is doing to improve daily life. Trump will want these statistics to be good all the time, so once the first bad jobs report comes out he will move to Schedule F the heads and replace them with people ready to take a Sharpie to the models.

    Problem with that is that market models need those data to make informed decisions, so if and when that happens, some stupid-ass traders who don't understand their own modellers are going to wake up and discover their data are telling them to sell or buy unpredictably.

    Thank God this is handled by the states and counties.

    Social security about to be entirely dumped into crypto. Federal pensions, too.

    If y'all wanna make some easy money, about to be a field day.

    HIV is about to go away, all on its own too. Look, the data shows it's gone. A miracle. I cured HIV. What even is HIV? No one knows until I told them about it.

    Rich hemophiliacs going to have normal lives. I should just say rich. Their hospital stays will allow them to get the clean stuff. The rest of us? You get hepatitis, you get HIV, everyone gets blood borne diseases!

    Normally I'd say job security for me but, that is going to be defunded to one degree or another so....

    It’s not just the blood supply. When adverse event reporting either becomes 1)no mandatory or 2)not publicly available…the entire US pharmaceutical and diagnostic industry becomes worthless. My advice would be to rapidly stop using anything and everything that also isn’t approved for use by the EU…while those things remain legal to use and distribute in the US.

    I have a feeling that this is going to happen to many male first generation legitimate immigrants who voted for Trump, particularly Uber drivers.
