That's a *hell* of a lot of expensive...empty...office space.
Businessman said to the minister, “I need help! My warehouse burnt to the ground, my product is all gone, my customers are leaving, and I am losing everything!”
The minister told him, “You can find all the answers to your problems in the Bible.”
The guy asked, “Where should I start?”
The minister answered, “If you do not know where to look, just open the book and place your finger on the page, and start right there. Sooner or later you will find your answers.”
He opened the Bible to a spot, looked down, and found his answer staring him right in the face - “Chapter 11.”
“Pin money.” Front-hall-closet-top-shelf-cigar-box-money.
We send this much to Ukraine evey few weeks.
Quick! Tax something!!
Consequences for the Covid reaction. Let them go bankrupt.
A great time to reduce costs. Terminate any who won’t return to their assigned office space and don’t replace them. Every government employee needs “eyes on” supervision and working from home doesn’t do it. Our government payroll is bloated and must be reduced - including the Pentagon.
Start with 10% per year for 4 years.
Maybe those commercial landlords can get loans from Ukraine.
Loans? Aid, like the parts of Europe, other than just Ukraine, that have been getting from us for the last 70 or so years.
We all saw this coming.
With an amount that large, banks will be in trouble. Whicn means that many depositors will be in trouble.
Government will bail out the insured accounts, then be pressured to bail out the uninsured accounts.
More money printing. More inflation.
Bankruptcies that large won't solve anything. They'll just spread the pain.
Sounds like the President needs to declare a moratorium on those mortgage payments and then declare debt forgiveness for the debts.
The Seagram building is a famous Ludwig Mies van der Rohe building from the ‘50s. It is undoubtedly restricted from modifications as a landmark, and it likely is hard to remodel to suit current office space designs.
17 of 24 federal agencies use an estimated 25% or less of their headquarters’ office capacity.. The General Services Administration, which manages all federal buildings, was operating at 11%, as was the Department of Agriculture.

LOL
It ain’t 50%
Closer to just under 25%, like San Francisco...
My guess
I can see Manhattan cams and they look abysmal compared to pre CCP-19(2020)
I only visit NYC occasionally...and I’m usually in after morning rush and leave before evening rush...so I can only depend on the reports of others. Mark Simone is,however,very good so I suspect he has sources.

Interesting.
I am curious (do I have the time) to check out what is in Chapter 11 of each book (some don’t have 11 chapters so that burden is lightened).
I’ll bet God has something applicable to say in each.
Sometimes focused and demanding, and sometimes humorous, in my experience.

Oh, are you angling for a Cabinet Post in the Biden Administration?
