16. It's very simple. I can't stand how employment / unemployment is lied about in this country.
I can't stand how unemployment is officially reported in this country. I can't stand how unemployment data is manipulated to make whatever party or politicians are in the hot seat look better. I can't stand how corporate media almost never reports anything but the most distorted and weakest of employment numbers from the BLA - the SA-U3.

It makes me sick.

And I believe, in my opinion, that the country would be in better shape if we spend more time trying to get accurate data, and demand that our politicians own that accurate data and set policy priorities accordingly.

Not only that, but I just hate it when people lie to me. I want accuracy - even if it doesn't benefit the right "team." I care more about accuracy than just about anything else.
