Oh, God -- even more of the wreckage that 'they' have left us. Currently, I'm hosting two cats while the parents of one of my son's friends lose their house because of some delayed Unemployment checks. She's going to a shelter; he's crashing on a neighbor's couch. They bought the house -- which is no palace -- at an absurdly inflated price and probably paid through the nose on that mortgage.

By 'They' I mean the ones who fomented and profited on the real estate bubble, and further profited on the looting of the economy.

I send your brother strength. Meanwhile, I'll just be angry on his behalf.
