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.
