Three Finance Stories

1. I was reading a commentary....over lack of updates with IRS.  So it got  brought up....the capital loss limit was set into stone in 1978....remaining still at $3,000.  If you did inflation upgrades since 1978....it ought to be over $15k today.

Same deal with the dependent care credit....set in stone in 1976.  With  inflation....it should be over $17k today.

2.   Apparently....at least one of Amazon's delivery-drones hit a telephone line/internet cable....now the FAA is investigating.  I'd guess.....it's 50-50 if the drones are allowed to continue.

3. 12-percent of all mortgages....that were at least 3 months delinquent....led to what banks/mortgage companies describe as 'no-contact'....meaning the owner knows it's dead-end situation and doesn't see any clean exit possible.
