Parallel Paraplegic posted:Is it legal to require your employees to sign away their rights to bring ADA / civil rights act lawsuits against the employer? Because I sure as gently caress don't think that's legal but my gf's company is giving everyone "a bonus!!!" if they sign this document that has an absurdly wide blanket waver section saying you agree to never sue based on "all claims for alleged fraud, concealment, negligence, negligent misrepresentation, promissory estoppel, quantum meriut, intentional or negligent infliction of emotional distress, wrongful discharge, breach of covenant, violation of public policy, sexual harassment, constructive termination, retaliation and discrimination based on age, race, color, sex, sexual orientation, marital status, religion, national origin, handicap, disability, or retaliation or any other factor protected by law" is there an arbitration agreement in there too? just to really round out the awfulness

the last couple of years buyers have been competing with all cash, no inspection offers from Chinese buyers. it's really bad now. in some areas prices are up 100% in 5 years. totally not a bubble, though.

That doesn't help but the vast majority of the price rise can be traced to insanely low interest rates letting people leverage themselves into the stratosphere and demolishing other returns so they have a reason to do so. That isn't likely to change anytime soon either.

There really needs to be some sort of gigantic non-occupancy tax on real estate. The trick is working out a way for it not to make urban blight go on a rampage; it would help a lot in NYC and SF but it would make rust belt commercial property absolutely radioactive.
