> There are very few things as bad as real estate negotiations
I can think of, literally, thousands of things. And I've negotiated commercial and residential real estate several times.
Child sex abuse, human trafficking, the death of a spouse, or child, or parent, genocide, murder, negotiating a contract when you are a startup and your customer is a Forbes 50 company that insists on Net 120 terms, war crimes, wage theft by multinationals, cannibalism, pointless Hollywood reboots, HackerNews posters bragging about how they never enable JavaScript in their browser, etc, etc.
Is it really necessary to exaggerate to the point of being ridiculous to make the simple point that there's room for improvement in commercial real estate negotiation in the US?
It's not just this post: Americans seem to need to turn everything into "worst ever" or "best ever".
- harryh 7y ago"HackerNews posters bragging about how they never enable JavaScript in their browser" <--- LOL. Have an upvote.
- journalctl 7y agoI’m like 85% sure “There are very few things as bad as...” is just an expression, and not literally suggesting that real estate negotiations are, on the spectrum of evil, the worst possible thing ever.
- Supermancho 7y ago> "worst ever" or "best ever". An inability to consider and relate multiple states is a trait of immaturity. The long tail of modern economics (which gives way to the long tail of education) ensures that this is a dominant perspective, over time. Hollwood reboots are not worse.
