Summary
Hurricane Ian left behind vast destruction in Florida. But what’s actually making the situation worse is the state’s insurance crisis. We’ll explain. Plus, some people who thought their student loans would be forgiven are learning they won’t eligible for President Biden’s relief program after all. And, if you like Fat Bear Week, you’ll love Fat Bear Junior.
Here’s everything we talked about today:
- Hurricane Ian’s damage in Florida is part of a larger crisis from MSNBC
- “In a reversal, the Education Dept. is excluding many from student loan relief” from NPR
- Tweet from @LizAnnSonders of Schwab on the rising cost of the monthly house payment
- “After 14 years, Lehman Brothers’ brokerage ends liquidation” from Yahoo
- “Meet the Bears of Fat Bear Junior” from Explore.org
We’re in the middle of our fall fundraiser! For a limited time, donate $8 a month and we’ll thank you with the popular new Make Me Smart hoodie. Donate today.
