Going better now that a major rail strike has been averted. Kudos to all who are working to find agreement and avoid even more widespread economic harm.

Enjoying the cooler weather this morning in Southern Illinois. Not looking forward to returning to the low 90’s early next week.

Chicago will be home tonight to what is believed to be the first varsity HS football game ever where both teams have a female head coach.

Finance Buzz released their “10 States with the Highest Foreclosure Rates [September 2022]” and it’s not good. Illinois is number 1 per capita. I’d like to see more details, and what the possible solutions could be.

Start with predatory mortgage lenders.

Report back what you find.

-Start with predatory mortgage lenders.-

Unfortunately they exist, in all 50 states. Are you implying there are more predators within our state than others? I don’t see your point.

===Are you implying===

No.

I said start there and report back what you find.

Legwork.

You want more details, I ain’t your Google. This isn’t Google either
