While in January, German officials were optimistically celebrating “skirting” a recession, their economy was directly heading towards that recession
And there were clear signs for it too, including the negative retail sales prints (eg -5% yoy in Feb 2023)

Debt ceiling pause just passed by the House.
The US debt ceiling has been raised 79 times over the last 63 years.
Over the last 10 years alone, the US has added $15 trillion in federal debt.
Since 2020, US debt is up by $8 trillion.
Debt ceiling “debate” is a farce for the masses. Both sides of the aisle need to spend to get the votes.

Germany in a really bad shape
Germans reported another drop in producer prices.
Already in technical recession, and deflationary pressures continue to build up. CPI and the labor market is to follow soon.

Monetary Policy, Systemic Inequality, and the Sly Round-About Way to Fix it
How Centralized Monetary Policy Produces Systemic Inequality, Examples from the Housing Market, and How to Opt Out
Today’s monetary policy hinges on a simple pendulum-like model: if the economy is too slow, stimulate it. If it is red hot, cool it down. Easy, right? except, no one knows how to reliably measure the economy, what “red hot” or “too slow” mean, or how much stimulus or tightening is enough. Even if the authorities miraculously manage to keep this economic pendulum in the optimal state of rapid growth without inflation, we demonstrate the upside of the stimulus and the downside of tightening go to different groups creating systemic inequality...
