Now do this for oil, and inventory drawdowns per capita since feb 28th.
Wow 😮. Hong Kong’s sizable French Expats community makes sense…

First, the Chinese came for plastic toys, we were not worried as there was plenty of profit to be made outsourcing. Then they came for mining and refining, and we were not worried, for more money was obviously to be made downstream. Then they came for solar, robotics, EVs and batteries, but we were not worried, for we could buy it all rather cheaply with paper + we had ChatGPT. Now they have come for compute, do we realise that there might be little left but carriers and USTs?

One party simply steps aside, and both wars will cease to threaten our way of life
We failed to deter Putin from invading Ukraine. We cannot afford to repeat that mistake with China and Taiwan. A war over Taiwan would be catastrophic for everyone. In my latest Substack, I share an excerpt from my book, Autocrats vs. Democrats, on how we can avoid it: michaelmcfaul.substack.com/p…

Democratic appeals to the common denominator.
As you can see, the trend while being less dramatic in the 20th Century is still a downward trend. Spend any time in an English classroom in this country and you can see it. My English was nowhere near as good as that my parents received.

No one will Dubai Hong Kong.
Hong Kong’s push to develop into a premier gold and commodity trading hub has gained momentum, with local metal storage surpassing 30,000 tonnes, a minister has said, as the administration positions the city as the “must-choose destination” for global capital. - SCMP #Gold #Silver

Nother ever happens.
BREAKING: France is running out of fuel. 11% of France's stations nationwide are now out of petrol or diesel, one in nine, with 16% of stations short in Grand Est, 15% in Pays de la Loire, 14% in Occitanie, and 13% in Centre-Val de Loire, per government figures published this morning. The official count only registers a station as short if it has no petrol at all or no diesel at all, so a station out of one grade but holding another is not counted, meaning the real shortage is much larger. French diesel averages €2.406 a litre, about $10.45 a gallon. Europe is facing its worst energy crisis in history.

After living here for a few months, I dont think that kathleen’s graph is hyperbole. Electric scooter for 200 USD? Subway ticket for 25-50cents. Overnight charging for the scooter’s 75km range: 2rmb. Cc: @LukeGromen @gave_vincent

Where is Russia getting all these missiles to attack Ukraine every damn day for 5 years, while the US is already out of missiles in the Iran war in less than 6 months, when our military budget dwarfs Russia’s?
