An interesting analysis would be to see how many and how often these posts of social order/societal breakdowns are making it to the FP here over time.

The tables in the link do a good job of outlining this, 11.9% while an interesting headline number, 11.9% increase over nothing is still basically nothing.

However, with the tables going back to 2022, it's almost 100% increase of businesses and 50% increase for Non-business filings, which I find more interesting.

Would be great to see the totals as population adjusted against historical context though.

Still not very high by historical standards. In fact, it really just seems like we're approaching the pre-pandemic norm.
