[quote=CA renter]Okay, this really doesn’t qualify for “worst picture,” but is this a floating stove in picture #2????

edit: Why, yes…yes, it is indeed a floating stove! Just saw this in the remarks:

“Gourmet kitchen features floating stove, granite counter tops, black/stainless steel appliances.”

Strange…[/quote]
My husband and I both looked at that – and we agree…. WEIRD! Why would you do that?

[quote=jpinpb]It should come up on Redfin, I would think b/c they list public records. In any case, this one UCGal posted as sold on the courthouse steps, not back to the beneficiary. Hope it wasn’t a flipper. It would be nice to see people picking up a deal and actually making it home.[/quote]
If you click on the “View Sales History, Tax Assessment and Zoning” link on the listing jp posted, you’ll see that I put the trustee sale info.

This still *might* have been back to the bank. JtR has had a few highlighted REOs that showed as sold at the steps for 1cent higher than the opening bid – but were really just “sold” to a holding company of the bank. I asked him, on his blog, about that a few months ago.

I was going to suggest Craigslist until I saw the caliber of job. My husband (commercial architect) has found more job leads on craigslist than on monster or other job boards. But I don’t think the same is true for executive positions.

Perhaps Davelj can chime in, since I think he works at that level in banking.

Personal pet peeve of mine… Why do they call financial instruments “products”. They aren’t manufactured. When derivitives are referred to as “products” it makes them see more tangible than they are… But that’s just my personal issue.

[quote=no_such_reality]The answer is simple. It’s the same as when a major corporation has major cash flow programs.

They just slash the budget across the board. The directive is to maintain their service levels but they reduce staff 20%, reduce the budget 20% and let the departments figure it out.

For example, only 57 cents of every dollar is spent in the class room. Cut 20 cents and direct the districts to maintain the previous classroom spending.

THe problem is so big, specific cuts won’t do it.

Then again, maybe we just direct the Prison sysem to figure out why then spend over $50,000 per inmate and the national average is $24,000 per inmate and State’s like Texas are under $20,000.[/quote]

Except at a corporation the folks at the top would then award themselves big bonuses for being so effective at making the cuts. The board of directors would agree – and up their own compensation while they’re at it. In the meantime 15-20% of the former employees are out of jobs and those remaining have more work and less budget to work with.

Call me cynical. I don’t think the corporate model is a good one.
