Summary
Elon Musk and his “Department of Government Efficiency” (DOGE) have been granted access to the U.S. Treasury’s federal payment system, raising concerns about security and misuse.
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent approved the move after a top Treasury official was ousted for resisting.
Critics warn Musk could freeze payments to government programs or manipulate federal contracts.
The move coincides with DOGE’s takeover of the Office of Personnel Management.
Experts call it a dangerous power grab, as Musk holds no official government position.
So cool. How do you come up with something that clever?

Congratulations, you are ready to start a career in stand-up comedy!
(The former was why I quit doing standup, a lot of them never stop being bitter.)
Well, your in a topic thats clearly only about Americans, and you felt the need to yell “im not American this doesn’t affect me”, as if anyone cares.
No one cares if you’re not american. The topic doesn’t affect you by default.

Aside from the headline, the very first sentence of the article.
But we both know you’re just playing dumb and you obviously knew it from the headline, because you obviously didn’t bother to read the article.
And of course there’s the article summary in the body of the post that’s blatantly about the US.
c/news is generally for American news. c/worldnews is for everything else.
Yes, I know you don’t like that.

See above, re: I know you don’t like that.
You have, as far as I can see it, three options: find your own server and make your own news community, accept that this is how it is and you have no way to change it even if you don’t like it, or whine about it.
You are choosing the third option for some reason. I’m not sure why.

It’s because someone complains about how this community is U.S.-centric every week. It gets exhausting to see constantly. Everyone’s aware that it is catering to American biases. It’s like how people are constantly announcing that something in Microblog Memes isn’t a meme. You see it constantly and it starts to grate on you.
I am sorry to have made it personal. That was wrong of me.
Do someone about it instead of crying

You probably want [email protected].
Back on Reddit, /r/news basically became about US news – I mean, it wasn’t a restriction to only be US, but it was just overwhelmed by US news – and so /r/worldnews was created in response, so that there was a subreddit that explicitly excluded US-specific news, so that it wouldn’t get flooded by it. [email protected] and [email protected] kinda parallels that relationship.

If you think the US is going to annex Canada, you truly are a moron. I can only imagine the type of work you do. You can’t read, so that’s probably a problem for you first off.

Realized how wrong you were, did you?
I can respect that.
