This just creates a void for China to waltz right in. US has used aid to gain access to exploit foreign countries resources & minerals. When they realise they are going to be frozen out it will hurt.
USAID staff received an early morning email in the middle of the night telling them to stay home today.
The comes after Musk said on X Spaces last night that Trump agrees with him that the agency should be shut down.

Usually this close to an election, the Reserve Bank choosing to raise or cut interest rates might be seen as a political decision.
But as things are now, not cutting interest rates would be just ignoring the economics.

PR in overdrive for CBA after the cash withdrawal fee drama...
... But they're not wrong.
It was a good idea to see if surcharges changed behaviour.
But to whatever small extent it worked, it just cemented surcharges as an *extra* fee.
Surcharging should go.

GitHub was down, hard, for an hour.
These kinds of outages are increasingly unacceptable: a company’s code repo is increasingly treated as infra. Repo down —> no deploys possible (even to resolve outages!)
GitHub doesn’t have infra-level reliability tho, ignoring this reality.
