Re: watch files failing due to usa government shutdown
There are lots of economic data releases (including the 'most important of each month' non-farm payrolls report, from last Friday) being post-poned each day...
Lots of computer/algos that control these sorts of things going crazy when the humans don't adjust them. In the classic markets and also in Bitcoin.
Really interesting posts, thanks!

Not just this - but tons of OpenGov data is also unreachable; nuts!
Thanks for the pointers!
