Nouriel Roubini on the housing losses expected in 2011. Roubini says he is particularly concerned because of a recent study by Laurie Goodman of Amherst Securities, which shows 11 million borrowers are in danger of losing their homes, which is one of every five borrowers. He says this number is scary because previous estimates had shown the number to be 3-4 million for the next four years. Roubini says he has talked to experts in the housing industry who tell him the 11 million number is realistic. His overall sense is that the housing problems in the U.S. are "underappreciated," with banks facing about $1 trillion in housing related losses.

LyrArc Article Gist
Why the East Wing being redone can be a good thing at the White House. It sticks to a classical style says NYT, and is more in line with the White House style than the architectural style of the Obama tower and other such structures. The White House can use the new ball room as a place for gatherings of foreign leaders, and the space modernization can be a good thing overall.

Why Middle-Class Americans Say Life Is Unaffordable

Sabrina Tavernise
LyrArc Article Gist
Income of $63,000 a year is what an average full time worker makes in the US and $140,000 what it takes to build a middle class life in the US in 2025. It is unlike the days of their parents say young people when most people could afford to buy a home if they worked full time. In 2025 engineers making $90,000 say they cannot make room for a down payment at that salary, or afford the cost of having one or two children.

This Could Have Been an Email and Other Ways to Have Better Meetings

  
WSJ - 01.06.2022 Original article ›
Kathryn Dill
LyrArc Article Gist
Unproductive never ending Zoom meetings, exhausting Zoom meetings, which could be handled with an email or in other ways, need to be deleted from the calendar, says Kathryn Dill in the WSJ. Status updates should be done in one on one conversations, or over email. Knowing the objective of a meeting is essential. Ideas from work experts at Microsoft and Accenture are shown here suggesting that managers take charge of meetings by setting ground rules for good behaviour and moderating, and being active players in all meetings. Allowing casual interaction before a meeting to make a decision for flow of ideas also helps, and holding questions till the end of the meeting where appropriate.
