In the medium term, the cuts to foreign aid will further destabilize regions and countries tied to the US in various ways. Destabilization is proven to lead to conflict and migration, which in trade math is bad - stable countries are stable partners.

In the short-term, these cuts to public information are going to further screw up your weather and emergency alerts - we just had flash floods last week and alerts didn't go out (that's a problem from a combo of city and federal failures.)

As a graduate of communications and international affairs (and lifelong beneficiary of local and rural public news and alerts), today's cuts to #foreignaid #npr and #pbs are more than sickening: they're going to have consequences generationally, here at home.

Childcare costs are up 43-79% since 2019 in #NYC (home vs center care), meaning a family needs to earn $334k to comfortably have 1 kid in daycare.
Kind of a big deal if NYC wants to continue to attract #talent and #innovation.

On a similar note, I’d love to hear from #businesses and the #tourismindustry about the impacts of federal turmoil on tourism numbers this month! What are you seeing?
Anecdotally around NYC, it’s been a little quieter.
