Busy day, today, for decision-makers. The US Federal Reserve to announce its decision
on the Bank rate(at 2 PM). They are widely expected to hold things as they are, after
myriad rate hikes, because inflation is slowly coming down...

2:30PM: Holding the rate steady, for now; might have to tighten, later.

Bill C-22, the Canada Disability Benefit, is scheduled to go before the House
of Commons today, because the Senate added amendments to it. If that passes,
the count is on and the Benefit should be rolled out within a year.
Interestingly, if the House refuses the amendments, it is up for Senate approval
as is. What is the amendment about: it will be recalled the original idea was to
make the disabled no worse off than the elderly. The Senate wants to see medical benefits
continue once a disabled person reaches senior status. Sounds reasonable enough;
one is still disabled once one is older. But statistically, the disabled often have
shortened life expectancies because of their disabilities so the bill was targetted for
a specific job... Let's get this done. We are all getting older 🤔!

Read about the difficulties, yesterday, with Amazon Web Services. They host, among
other things, Common Crawl used by researchers and chatbots...
Maybe only Facebook ads get a direct link:
