It's the first truly lovely evening outside in a while and I want to go run around in it, so we're going with a simple linkdump of the day's news:
The second largest mall owner in America filed for bankruptcy.
Questions are being raised as to exactly how Goldman Sachs did so well this quarter.
Foreclosure filings jumped 24%, which might have more to do with unemployment than previously thought.
Speaking of unemployment, Slate has a great interactive tool to visually track job losses over time.
Simon Johnson has a great summary of the difference between the bank runs of yesteryear and today over on Freakonomics. It is precisely the new kind of run that almost brought the entire system to it's knees last September.
