Germany's economic malaise stems from weak net exports (purple). Fiscal stimulus and debt build-up only make that worse. The fix is to get the overvalued Euro down, by getting the ECB to acknowledge rising risk of deflation in the Euro zone. The ECB is at the root of so many bad Euro zone policies.

Quite remarkable. This morning's CPI data confirm that US inflation is picking up, with a broad-based rise that's coming from all kinds of places. But the Fed - under pressure from the administration - is almost certain to start an easing cycle next week. Not great really...

Seasonal adjustment of US data has been a problem ever since COVID. So it's best to just line up 2025 core CPI inflation (purple) with previous years. This makes it clear that an inflation pick-up is happening, right in the middle of the year when inflation is usually low...

Russia was planning operation Zeus to murder thousands of civilians across Ukraine on the night of June 1 to get an upper hand with negotiations in Istanbul, that was until Ukraine’s operation web declawed them and destroyed nearly half their strategic bombers.
Russia aborted the mission.

Here's a map of the Roman road network in the time of Hadrian, ~125 CE.
There were 29 military highways, 372 great roads joining 113 provinces. In total, it was more than 400,000 km of roads (250,000 miles). For comparison, the US interstate highway system is ~48,000 miles of road.
