With pandemic, NYC taxi drivers' livelihoods hang in the balance CBS News July 5, 2020

We may tell our children in years to come that there was a time, especially if it was during rush hour on a rainy day, when you couldn't get a cab in New York City for love or money.  These days, the streets are mostly empty. It's estimated that 90% of the taxi business has dried up.

That's part of the reason why the city, with help from the National Guard, started a program that pays cab drivers to deliver food to low-income housebound residents.

Bankruptcy Chapter 7, 11, & 13 in Texas

“Bankruptcy” is a legal proceeding in which a person who cannot pay his/her bills can get a “fresh start”. In Texas, the bankruptcy code is a federal law, meaning it applies uniformly nationwide. Filing for bankruptcy immediately stops creditors from collecting debts from you until the debts are sorted out through an “automatic stay.” Each state, as well as the federal government, have enacted legislation that dictates what property debtors can keep through the bankruptcy process. These laws are known as “exemption laws”.

Wave of bankruptcies may swamp courts

June 29, 2020
Marketplace

Many economists and bankruptcy lawyers expect a wave of bankruptcies coming this year.

Giant bankruptcies of companies that owe more than $100 million, are up 40% from a year ago, which means they are up 120% from 2018.  Chapter 11 bankruptcies of all kinds have increased 20% since last year. This is obviously traumatic for the people who work at those companies but there is a silver lining.
