silverbax@lemmy.worldto News@lemmy.world•‘To hell with this place!’ George Santos ousted from Congress after fabricating life storyEnglish32·2 years agoOf course when this clown shows up on Fox News, or OAN, touting his book or offering insight into government, no one watching will bother to remember that he was kicked out by his own party for wild fabrication and fraud.
Oh stop, this is just more propaganda. All of the data shows remote work is more productive and wildly popular.

For companies, your laziest employees are the ones who want to be in the office, because they know that’s the only metric the company is measuring, so they go in and fuck around doing nothing all day.
Companies who don’t get with the remote work program are dinosaurs and will die off over time.

How the super-rich are preparing for the apocalypseEnglish13·2 years ago100%, those idiots will last less than a day. Meanwhile, the rest of the world may collapse, but a society will survive and rebuild. Those rich morons will be some of the first casualties, and they are setting their own doom traps themselves.

Businesses would sell you cyanide and call it a weight-loss miracle cure if the laws didn’t prevent it.

silverbax@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•Biontech is planning cancer vaccines before 2030English129·2 years agoWe really need some vetting on the ‘sources’ posted here. Lemmy is voting up stories based on headlines from BS links.

silverbax@lemmy.worldto News@lemmy.world•Jan. 6 rioter who used sovereign citizen 'gobbledygook' at trial is found guiltyEnglish4·2 years agoYeah, I don’t know why people keep posting that on Reddit and Lemmy. Having been a former landlord, eviction is not difficult, it’s just that some inexperienced landlords are not aware of the laws. You own the property, If someone moves in without an agreement from you, you evict them, or more accurately, you have them charged with breaking and entering, plus trespassing.
I once rented to a couple where the boyfriend became verbally abusive and would throw things at his girlfriend during arguments. The thing is, he wasn’t on the rental agreement, she was. He refused to leave, I laughed and had his ass out within 3 hours.
silverbax@lemmy.worldto News@lemmy.world•US existing home sales fall to lowest level in more than 13 yearsEnglish16·2 years agoI saved for years before I bought my second house (was living in my ‘starter home’ for wayyy longer than expected) and I didn’t think I’d be able to afford a much better house than I already had - prices were exploding, houses didn’t stay on the market for more than a few days at the most, and I just couldn’t see paying so much more than I could reasonably afford for a house that wasn’t much better than I already owned.
Then 2008 happened, and suddenly I was the only buyer and I watched homes prices plumment in their listings. I bought a house that I’d seen listed at $360,000 just six months prior for $219,000 and scooped it up.
It’s one of the few times in my life I actually was able to take advantage of ‘the dip’, but it took 10 years of saving while living in a house that was way too small for my family.
silverbax@lemmy.worldto News@lemmy.world•US existing home sales fall to lowest level in more than 13 yearsEnglish4·2 years agoI work with a lot of tech directly related to the mortgage industry, and it’s kind of crazy to look at the data. Mortgage originations plummeted as interest rates rose (less people buying houses) but new construction - especially on lots that had been cleared but had been sitting undeveloped for several years - exploded in a rush, and it’s not clear why.
I’ve been through previous mortgage corrections and this one is pretty tame by comparison to some others - the hard part about buying a house is that prices will rise for years upon years and waiting for a correction seems risky when you see prices rising out of your affordability. But in the past, it has always been true that the market will level out over time.
Ah yes, SalesForce, one of the entrenched bastions supporting dinosaur companies. Apparently they suddenly have their finger on the pulse of the modern workforce, despite not being connected to it.
