Yup that’s exactly what I was doing, and I was surprised that the negatives won’t catch up until at least 3 months which brings us to July at the earliest.

Edit: Thanks General I didn’t notice it’s in weeks. So we’re looking at early June which is closer to what we were all thinking.

Since when do popularity polls even matter for a dictator. Does Kim Jong Un care what his people think? As long as he can prevent them from rising up in opposition he’s golden.

OP’s data shows the U.S. is stocking up tremendously in April, and then maintaining year-on-year patterns after that with a slight downturn that doesn’t even compensate for April’s glut.

I haven’t seen this data before but it shows the opposite of the shortage I was expecting.

The global dollar system is not at all fragile. Not even close. It’s rock solid. But that doesn’t mean it’s impervious to dynamite and stupidity.
