It's all in the comparables. The only reason for the 33.8% 3rd quarter 2020 increase in GDP was because it followed the -31.2% (decline) in the 2nd quarter GDP in 2020. Ya cant just tell part of the story.Beaten to the punch, again!
Here, from the very same site good ol' pauly cites is the evidence of his cherry picking:

It's plain for anyone who'd care to look that the MASSIVE slump of the 2nd quarter makes the 3rd quarter look so pretty, when it's not. In fact, that whole map just shows the uptick in GDP from the very poor showing of the previous month and not the overall real GDP.
Why people resort to this behavior is beyond me.
All the best,
