> If they have the same currency and free trade, wouldn’t they have largely the same inflation?

You could have just looked at the difference between France and Germany to find out the answer. It’s even more stark if you start looking at others, but I don’t want to confuse you by talking about Latvia.

There is a lot of psychedelic use on the west coast. Makes sense to me.

What I am seeing here is that Washingtonian Bigfoot goes on vacation to California a lot, but occasionally gets around.

God damn, it looks like some of those developing countries' economies barely got worse during the pandemic. Like Indonesia was almost completely fine and India's inflation rate didn't change at ALL.

Argentina would be a thin red line...

Energy and Money are quite closely related in that they're a basis for the economy. A century ago we realized that centralizing and nationalizing the source of money was a good thing. It makes some sense to do the same with energy. Particularly energy systems where the infrastructure is not duplicated so that they are natural monopolies. Looking at you electric power grid.

Listen buddy if you want to discuss whether lock down strategies make sense or not you can do that but in the case of Switzerland the by far most relevant factor is the excellent backing of the Swiss Franc.

I don't really understand this chart. Both teams have a higher chance of losing or tying going into the game than winning it?

France has salaries increasing way slower than other European countries. The government is trying to make it look like the inflation is not hitting France as hard as other countries, but the effect is the same, if not worse, than in countries like Belgium where salaries follow the inflation.

Now plot it with the increased production of Christmas movies!

2017-2020 is more interesting period to me from this data

Dang! Joe Biden did all of this!?

I recommend changing the colourmap; red-green colour-blindness is fairly common (something like 8% of men have it), which would make the figure closer to unreadable. While you're at it, center the colour scale at 0 (instead of 4%) so that the divergence in the colourmap has some meaning (and it's easier to distinguish positive/negative values).

Makes a great case for nationalizing energy production in all countries.

why is there no data on Japan since 2021?

Might be the worst piece of geopolitical analysis I’ve ever seen

It’s pretty easy for deflation to spiral, it’s a positive feedback loop. So it’s better to keep a small buffer to prevent it starting

France also has huge agricultural subsidies and produces most of its own farm goods.

Ya, but it's definitely Trudeaus fault
