-----PART 01 SUMMARY------
US President Jimmy Carter told the nation that the US dollar's devaluation "is clearly not warranted by the fundamental economic situation". In fact, it was unreservedly deserved as the necessary consequence of prolonged official incompetence.

-----PART 02 SUMMARY------
US producer prices surged in the month of March. But Federal Reserve chairman Jay Powell said they won't last, that they are "transitory". HE IS RIGHT! But the reason he gives - the covo - is not correct. No, the reason is the same one since 2007: the global, silent depression.

-----PART 03 SUMMARY------
On February 23rd the US Treasury 2-year auction put in some record-low bids. But then, on February 24th, the snowflake (or feather, or spark... maybe all three at once) came, so that by the 25th perceptions had reversed (melo)dramatically. Had Death come for US Treasuries?
