Saturday assorted links

1. What a corruption scandal in Singapore looks like.

2. Vargas Llosa uh-oh? (New Yorker)

3. Astral Codex Ten: comments on British economic decline.

4. FedNow will enable speedier payments.

5. One take on the current Chinese economic slowness.  A good, non-hysterical piece.

6. Stupid bluster about Suwalki.  But don’t think this is not a major issue in the longer term.
