Headline pce inflation of 3% year over year is driven lower by the collapse in energy prices, mostly natural gas not gasoline
Natural gas is twice as important as gasoline for America's energy needs.
eia.gov says the United States used 369 million gallons of gasoline per day in 2022. That's the equivalent of 13 billion kWhr/day last year.
America also consumed 88.52 billion cubic feet of natural gas per day in 2022. That's the equivalent of 26.88 billion kWhr/day last year, 2.06 times as much.
Gasoline is down 14.6% in 1H2023, natural gas 60.5%.

Well, well, well, close Biden family associate Alexander Mackler worked in the Delaware US Attorney's office 2016-2019
Assistant U.S. Attorney Lesley Wolf featured prominently in the testimony of two IRS agents who spent years working on the Hunter Biden investigation. Both Gary Shapley and Ziegler, the IRS whistleblowers, said Wolf intervened to stop multiple investigative steps from moving forward, including by preventing FBI agents from asking witnesses any questions about Joe Biden’s involvement in foreign business affairs and by tipping off Hunter Biden’s attorneys about a planned search of his storage unit.
Wolf worked alongside Mackler in the U.S. attorney’s office before Mackler’s departure. She and Mackler prosecuted a major case together, for example.
More.

NASA Psyche Mission headed to iron and nickel-rich asteroid possibly worth quadrillions
The current value of ~208,874 tonnes of all the gold ever mined is only $14.47 trillion, so the discovery and mining of huge new supplies of precious metals could cause a deflationary depression . . . some day.
Launch date is October, arriving in 2029.
Meanwhile we can exchange worthless pieces of paper for all kinds of stuff made in China.
Seems fair.

To be fair the whole team is gay
NFL coach comes out as gay in first for American pro sports...
Oh, sorry, I was thinking of a different team.
Scott Walker, who ought to know, urges DeSantis to spend less while remembering what made Trump's campaign unique
He's from Milwaukee. For president in 2016 he spent like he was blitzed on Blatz.
Here:
From the moment he opened his mouth at the first presidential primary debate in Cleveland, he took command of the discussion. Every voter knew he was going to build the wall, drain the swamp, and prevent radical Islamic terrorists from coming to America.
Yeah, build the wall.
Too bad about that.
