"And they healed the pain of my people disgracefully, saying 'peace and prosperity,' when there was no peace or prosperity."
Jeremiah 6:12
"Easy is the descent into hell;
The door to death and darkness stands open, day and night.
But to retrace one's steps, to return once more
to the pure clean air, and cheerfulness and life:
That is our task, that is our true labour."
Vergil, Aeneid

Judgement and justice are long overdue— but they are coming.
The highlight for next week will be the Producer and Consumer inflation figures.
I hope you have had a pleasant weekend.
