It's Official: SREP blog is for booster club members only

It would be nice to see the comments.

Is Leanne claiming a Seattle PI blog TOS violation by Synthetik and Eleua, or has she just started to arbitrarily ban people she doesn't like?

That's a funny thread even without their comments. To summarize: "if you aren't serious about dropping your price, you are just adding to inventory and harming my bottom line, stop doing that," the author.

Interesting that there are so many lawyers in RE.

Seems like a natural fit though...since both are parasitical jobs that produce nothing of actual value.

Anyone who makes their living quoting/looking up information in bookshelves full of old leather bound books is most likely in an occupation ripe for computerization/digitization. Symptoms of dead end jobs include repetitious paperwork, repetitive access to large pools of information, and a tendency to rely on historical precedents (again repetition....).

Law requires a layer of "priests" between the law and the population because the laws have become so complex and because priesthoods by nature become self-protecting entities. This is especially true of a priesthood actually "in" the business of law. And seeing that a large number of politicians come from the "law" field.....

http://USLaw.com/WA will one day be a site where the laws on any topic will be available to any and all for a small flat fee. Each law will be plainly stated in English and accompanied by easy to understand examples and references. And hence, interpreters of the law will no longer be needed. It will take a large programming effort to make the switch, but the payoff will be huge....unless you are in one of the obsolete jobs.

Same could be said for RE agents, mortgage agents, brokers of all kinds, etc. The era of having human intermediaries between someone seeking a service and the actual service rendered, will continue to wind down. Computerization is inevitable as industries are "leaned down" and made more efficient.

Those in dead end and obsolete jobs/industries will simply be re-trained.
