"Residents attempt repairs..." Do I really have to say anything ? Maybe... "yeah... they're looking out the hole at the glass truck as it rolls up" ? Worth noting the differences in "style" between the moron in chief in the U.S., and the collective of morons in Europe... On the one hand, Biden acts without having a clue what the impact of the policy will be... and not really caring... On the other hand, in Europe, they're frozen by the fear at the prospect of having to make a decision, or by the need for taking any action... even knowing exactly what the consequences might be, and knowing how to mitigate them... still unwilling as it might impose an inconvenience... leaving a vast open space between U.S. and Europe, for reason to occupy... and enjoy being ignored... Shortages of nickel, palladium, and other metals are becoming critical. That might be true... but, what evidence is there ? And, how do measure it ? Or, how do you trade it ? It is a strategic imperative to bring this crisis to a head immediately by raising the ante. Which is perhaps as good an explanation as I've seen for why it is a really good idea to not consult economics advisors on critical matters of war and peace... rather than economics... I generally respect Ambrose Evans-Prichard's work... and, I don't think his premises are wrong, here... but, it also "feels off"... Either he's off his game, for some reason, or a bit out of his depth with feeling the need for the sudden expansion of the remit of "economics" to include crafting war time strategy... Or, he got the "tap on the shoulder" and a bit of extra editorial help ?
