The anger and denial are incredible

Another Meta employee said middle managers working from home were keen to demonstrate to executives that they were still valuable, resulting in them attending as many virtual meetings as possible to increase their own visibility internally.

As a result, there were “too many people on too many calls”, the person said, describing the phenomenon as a type of “digital presenteeism”.

“The question we all have is whether contagion will spread from the office sector,” said Bryan McDonnell, head of PGIM’s real estate debt business, which has $122bn under management. “If you get to a confidence issue then, all of a sudden, people might put all commercial real estate in the same bucket.”

ITS NOT OVER YET!!!!! HODL 💎🙌

Chapter 11 so loving what? Almost INSTANTLY people saying ah well it's over, done, kaput, nada, money down the drain, off to burger King yada yada yada.

Cop on. To all the ball bags in here saying we are here till the end and are deciding to leave now.. this aint the loving end!

Chapter 11 allows for the sale of assets. BABY is a huge asset. Which will be sold. And who will buy it I wonder? Only the young.

OK so its hard to see. The word Bankruptcy is henious.... but if you know you know, we know you wanna know. It's not a bad thing. It's a big thing but it's a change of direction. An opportunity. Confirmation. 11th hour too.

If you are here to stay, then loving stay. This is where the paper handed bitches get the bus home.

As for me, I'm waiting for the baby bus to the rocket

ONLY THE YOUNG!!!!!

Edit: thanks to the top G for reaching out about my wellness. It's good to see people still care about others. But I would suggest maybe using that service for what it's for, like your wife, that rachet hatchet wound you're married to.

i'm guessing that's because they retired and that's because working retail, especially grocery store, is hell. unless it's a night-shift doing stocking only, that's pretty chill (if those positions even still exist)

idiots and suckers placed their bets on a dying retail company that is rapidly closing their empty stores. BBBY has filed Chapter 11. They are learning in real-time the difference between a Stakeholder and a Shareholder and they're gradually realizing their money is gone.

Some of them will HODL until the ticker hits zero and the ability to trade shares is removed. Unless you bought in the last few weeks, you're down 90% or 95%. Pretty much everyone who's been around for 6+ months is down 98% or 99%.

the mayor of honolulu proposed this and then he got murdered

The administration’s rate reduction on mortgage insurance premiums is possible because FHA’s mortgage insurance fund has accumulated reserves at a level that is more than five times the required threshold set by Congress, according to the White House.

Home price appreciation and significant refinance volume over the past few years are factors contributing to the surplus and make it possible for HUD to make adjustments and pass savings on to consumers without jeopardizing the long-term sustainability of FHA’s mortgage insurance fund.

The move strikes an appropriate balance between assisting homeowners and ensuring the capital reserve ratio and insurance fund remain strong, according to the National Association of Realtors, which supports the move.

“In this competitive market, new and low- to moderate-income buyers are often left behind,” said Kenny Parcell, the president of the National Association of Realtors. “This reduction will help alleviate some of the financial stress those potential buyers encounter when purchasing a home and allow more people across the country to achieve the American dream of homeownership.”

It’s also something the Mortgage Bankers Association has encouraged for several years.

“The lower premiums will expand homeownership opportunities by lowering mortgage payments for qualified FHA borrowers, providing critical relief from the steep rise in mortgage rates and home prices just in time for the spring buying season,” said Bob Broeksmit, MBA’s president and CEO. “This will especially help minority homebuyers and low-and moderate-income households who are predominantly served by FHA loans.”

yes but how much money is going to evaporate with Reddit and Imgur? How much evaporated with Tumbler? they just keep running head first into this wall and thinking this time, this time it will be different.

why not instead develop a payment network before chasing all the users off? I mean how much money is Reddit worth? (looks like 10 billion) I mean Visa or Mastercard are in that 400-500 billion range. But something like American Express is 124 billion.

they’d have to get multiple companies to pull it off I guess.
