Excerpted from Real Clear Technology

Cellphone companies hold onto your location information for years and routinely provide it to police.

At least tens of thousands of times a year, they hand cellphone location information to the FBI or police officers who have a court order.

They also analyze your information to send you targeted ads for their own services or from outside companies.

But, there is one person cell phone companies will not share your location information with …

You.

The BLS streak continues …

July 6, 2012

We’re up to 68 out of 69 weeks that the BLS has under-reported the number of initial unemployment claims … and cast the jobs situation as brighter than it really is.

Based on yesterday’s BLS report, the number for the week ending June 23 was revised upward from 386,000 to 388,000.

Again, I ask: statistical bias or political bias?

If the former: fix it already, BLS !
