Peter, the Authorities have denied Navarro his request to remain free awaiting appeal - it looks like he is actually going to prison!

Be careful out there; apparently neither logic nor law can save you. If anyone ever calls you ‘paranoid’, they’re wrong!

I saw that in the news.

At the risk of sounding self-righteous, I am called to speak and write the truths that I have. I will share the data that I can gather, and I will share my thoughts on what that data means.

If anyone comes for me for speaking Truth, so be it. I was cancelled from LinkedIn once, and have had numerous accounts suspended from Twitter. That's not the same as going to prison, yet in a small way they have already come for me.

Yet I am still here. God willing, I will remain here. It's what I can see to do.

A ‘race to the bottom’ says it all.

The older I get, the more I notice that KINETICS is instrumental in every process. (For those readers who are liberal-arts grads, kinetics is the RATE of reaction, and is usually determined by using differential calculus - so now you know what calculus is for!) If a weather system spins just a tiny bit slower, the weather ends up different from what was forecast, hundreds of miles away - the RATE of that spinning is crucial to the forecast. If the chemical bonding rate between two elements in a magma happens just a little bit faster than the bonding rate of two other elements, you end up with different minerals crystallizing from the magma than if the RATE of chemical reactions was different.

And this importance of RATE is crucial in macroeconomics as well. If China declines faster relative to other economies, if Mexico’s economy grows faster than Nicaragua’s, while 200 other national economies are also growing at different rates relative to each other, you get different international economic results. To make things even more interesting, most of the rates are constantly changing! This makes it almost impossible to predict the economic future.

Peter’s excellent graphs and data show us, amongst other things, the rates of economic processes. China IS declining. Now it’s going to be fascinating to watch the mash-up of the relative rates in different economies. Place your bets!
