7. Misleading headline?

It should be "US Bankruptcies Hit Highest MONTHLY Level Since COVID," no?

It can't be the "highest level" if it's only on track to surpass last year's overall total.

I stickle because I grew up in a Newsweek household when it actually was a weekly publication and there was no race to get out content by the second.

In other related news, farm bankruptcies are also on the rise.
