History says, don't hope On this side of the grave. But then, once in a lifetime The longed-for tidal wave Of justice can rise up, And hope and history rhyme. Seamus Heaney
'Raising rates' and 'tightening' looks more like offshoring and a shift change at the central banks' print shop. Game of Swaps. And in the second chart, the history of empire is starting to look choiceless and 'rhyme-y.' Hope and change. Change was led down a blind alley and strangled, and hope is on a bus out of town.
