“A billion dollar company that owned two substantial San Francisco hotels announced June 5 that it’s defaulting on its loan and releasing the hotels from its portfolio.” Park Hotels & Resorts “will immediately stop making payments toward a $725 million loan, slated to mature November 2023.” The REIT cited the “best interest” of its unitholders given “concerns over street conditions; lower return to office than peer cities; and a weaker than expected citywide convention calendar through 2027.”

“Congress needs to regain its senses before disaster hits.” Without Congressional action, the government will shut down next week and in several more begin defaulting on its sovereign debt. “As the sole superpower and provider of the international reserve currency, the US owes a duty to the world, as well as to itself, to uphold one of the most basic functions of a nation state.
