All it means is that corporate bankruptcies filed simply reflect monetary policy moving from super easy money to super tight money in a year. Nothing more. Nothing less.

??? What do you mean nothing more? When corporations are not able to make a profit and only survive when there monetary easing and easy credit, that means the corporate foundation is not doing well. They can't rise interest rates to decrease inflation or other zombie companies will also collapse, pointing to the underlying instability of the economy. So in short the economy is weak. Lol
Okey dokey
Because there are poorly performing corporates in any business environment, there will always be capital projects gone, and similar.
A lot of debt is floating rate and so any interest rate hike will set off a cascade. Covidflation caused rate hikes and the Fed is now easing but there are still substantial microeconomic consequences from the piking cycle - among those including higher servicing costs for highly leveraged corproates
SoftBank investing in Intel, the mavens also invested in wework and somehow didn’t make a mint when owning 5% of nVidia. Also possibly on the way to becoming an SOE like Amtrak…

It's a cute list, but it's not very useful. Much better to simply look at the data.
Might want to look at the data now, as with President Trump is starting to understand the usefulness of defunding BLS, and installing his own puppets to pick and cook the numbers he wants.

Still seething at the damage he caused to my 457b
Isnt there a sleepy rule to just ban him whenever he reemerges?
My favorite pastime is following economic news.
Your argument is so shallow and weak that even large companies that have been established for decades are going bankrupt and closing. According to S&P Global Market Intelligence, large American companies are facing bankruptcies at the fastest rate since 2010, with 188 filings registered by March 2025.
Among the companies that filed for bankruptcy protection in March are the owner of the Forever 21 retailer in the US, the Canadian company Mitel Networks, and the film production company Village Roadshow Entertainment Group. Genetic testing company 23andMe and restaurant chain Hooters of America have also filed for bankruptcy, to name a few.
The high bankruptcy rate follows a trend of increasing corporate bankruptcy filings in recent years.
