it is crazy that prices are still insane, and people are still offering 20%+ over asking price. the only thing that seems different is they aren’t pricing low to entice insane bidding wars to go way over what it should be, and tend to be priced closer to “real” value

https://www.nationalreview.com/corner/skynet-watch-an-ai-drone-attacked-the-operator-in-the-simulation/ I wonder what corporate AI is going to do when the executives want to sabotage their own company's productive capacities by doing things inefficiently on purpose (end of WFH) or laying off the people who actually do the work so they can get a bonus.

Vox Nihili posted:Yeah I have been thinking for years that the legal approach to unionization in the US is rapidly approaching a dead end. The framework is just too expensive, slow, and favors the employer too much. This concrete thing pretty much solidified it. and you're not wrong about how hard it is here in the US. but this doesn't make it harder. yet.

lol over $12,000 for a mortgage, tho i'm guessing at 2.1mil it's probably a full-cash offer. the fancy Compass real estate people did a 'real nice' job staging the inside with flipper white furniture and extremely Pier 1/World Market-rear end white doodads n wicker baskets

euphronius posted:people are going to be locked into their house which isn’t great for labor mobility This is 100% gonna be a thing. Partner and I could easily leave our current spot for a pretty big salary bump but almost all of that would be wiped out by inflated housing costs in the areas we are interested in and higher interest. It's not too bad at least though, we have decent jobs and great coworkers now (but lovely bosses) and love the house we have. We can still get into other positions but commuting is far more of a hassle. At least some ability to WfH for a couple days a week so again not bad but partner and I are basically on the really good/privileged side of things and we have very few options. Can only imagine how poo poo it is for others now.

I got several HVAC quotes and was able to talk one installer down about $1k and he had availability for next week which is rare.The market for hosuing equipment seems to be softening, also heard from a friend who’s a sales manager for a large window manufacturer said they’ve seen their sales drop by half with larger orders being cancelled. Maybe if I waited I could get a cheaper install for a furnace and ac but I’m tired of waiting and I want to get in before the next heat wave. No guarantee it would get cheaper anyway since they keep raising prices on the equipment.

I have to fix a hole in a gutter and the resulting wood damage and that's going to cost me over $1k  The old thing about buying a fixer-upper when you're broke / young no longer applies because you can't afford the materials + labor a fixer-upper needs.

JAY ZERO SUM GAME posted:This is not an accurate understanding of the Glacier decision; the decision is about this exact case, and doesn't go much further. however, the open invitation by Roberts to re-examine the main issues here is ... spooky It's another building block in the inexorable, long-term, accelerating project of making strike activity effectively illegal. This legal project is already far enough along that the end point is clear to everyone, and there is no effective resistance to it. It'll be done in the next ten or so years. But it's already far enough along that most unions are advised to almost never actually strike, sapping their power.

Anyway getting out of the NLRA framework and directly into court is huge for employers. In time employers will be able to sue unions directly for cash damages for strikes but any labor claims from the unions will have to go through the NLRA process.

lol didn't mark fuckerberg do some big pandemic hoo-rah about perma wfh forever? i'm guessing it's just another way to do an employee culling without having to do WARN and pay severance. i know a lot of goons think rto is all middle-management or real estate goop, but i actually think the big reason of rto is a way to do layoffs without laying off officially. it's smart actually. how well it works is tbd since tech is making GBS threads itself and no one is gunna quit right now but i'm guessing there's at least some that moved away and won't be returning so they'll file their 2-week-notice with this, and then probably be unemployed. anyways it's great traffic is even worse than pre-pandemic, fortunately with my new job i never have to cross the bay bridge ever again Xaris has issued a correction as of 01:42 on Jun 2, 2023 |

In a lot of rural areas the library also doubles as a civic center, a place to do medical outreach, emergency shelter, food drives, government facilities etc. This is just from my experience in Tennessee but we would do rural health clinics and things in them. Now the libraries aren’t great or anything and I’m sure there aren’t any books in there that would be considered objectionable but they do exist. In many cases they were built during the Great Depression.
