Interesting combination with the demand for all federal employees to go back to the office

new reporting that Elon is instructing GSA, the agency that manages government worksites, to terminate the leases for all (!) federal offices nationwide: apnews.com/article/trum...

lmao and the way that the commercial real estate economy is already crumbling…..

cursed.monster•29 days ago

Literally my first thought too

Knowing these idiots, they think federal employees are going to have to play musical chairs with the remaining office space to see who gets to keep their job.

msemilyedwards.bsky.social•29 days ago

i wonder how the real estate "president" feels about that

orchidtreks.bsky.social•29 days ago

I cannot keep up

roastedcauliflower.bsky.social•29 days ago

Where's he going to force everyone to sleep?

polerin.bsky.social•29 days ago

Yeah that was my thought.

Add in the fact that some offices downscaled well before COVID & were already in a situation where employees were either hoteled in random desks or were sharing desks with rotating in-office days.

I mean, what they're doing is evil and fascist, but we should remember these are not detail-oriented men, nor are they exceptionally smart, and they're making a lot of this up as they go along.

Plus, lots of ketamine.

Not really—rent the space back to the gov't from whatever hedge fund/equity firm they create to buy it.

If they're terminating leases, isn't this already property the government is renting? Can't be a sale-leaseback in that case.

louisathelast.bsky.social•29 days ago

Maybe not, but could be a “break the lease and then move them into conveniently Trump/Musk/crony owned buildings”

I think assuming that the looters are looting is a safe assumption, yeah.

rascalking.com•29 days ago

yeah, i don't doubt that's the next step on the checklist, but right now it sounds like "just" killing all the rental agreements.

insavga.bsky.social•29 days ago

How long until we hear about the janitorial contracts in every federal building all being voided?

rascalking.com•29 days ago

It's just another way to fire people. Close the office, demand they move to another location, don't pay relocation, and wait for folks to quit.
