Calling it "rigged" implies that the methodology is questionable. Are you (1) defending the methodology? Or, are you saying that (2) the methodology is not questionable unless I can dispute it specifically? If (1), then what makes the methodology valid? If (2), then I suggest that you consult a reference on social research or statistical sampling. The burden of proof is on the BLS researcher to establish validity. I don't believe that this has been done sufficiently.

nobody said anything about mysterious individuals, it's common sense who it benefits and why. if you think that people don't do what's in their own best interest, then maybe you have an argument, but that's a bold premise you'd be making.
