  • 118 Turnpike Road, Southborough: A lease for 10,787 square feet of office space used by the Internal Revenue Service that was set to expire in November 2029.
  • 146 Mendon St., Uxbridge: A lease for 4,852 square feet of office space used by the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service that was set to expire in November 2029.
  • 210 Beacham St., Everett: A lease for 2,789 square feet of office space used by the Agricultural Marketing Service that was set to expire in August 2028.

  • 300 Westgate Center Drive, Hadley: A lease for 72,220 square feet of office and special-purpose space used by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service that was set to expire in December 2032.
  • 120 Front St., Worcester: A lease for 14,511 square feet of office space used by the Internal Revenue Service that was set to expire in June 2028.
  • 446 Main St., Worcester: A lease for 5,506 square feet of office space used by the U.S. Trustee Program, a component of the Department of Justice, that was to expire in November 2030.
As you can see lots of cuts of office lease's specifically the IRS.  This is just weeks after mandating all federal workers back to the offices.  These leases are a mix of lease lengths which will save $5 million over the current year.  It will save $22 million over what appears 7 years.

All of these are leased properties that owners will need to find new tenants for as some where longer term leases.  This is going to put further pressure on the lack of demand for commercial real estate.  These lease cancellations will not be conducted gracefully, as we have seen with all other actions of DOGE and Elon Musk.  The method of cancellations all at once will be a shock to the market all at once.  Most other times with mass lease cancellation its more of a gradual build up of and not the sudden increase.

I will keep my eyes on aftershocks of this in the next few months.

The Best Breakdown of What Happened to HBGary

http://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/news/2011/02/how-one-security-firm-tracked-anonymousand-paid-a-heavy-price.ars Many of the documents linked or screen captured in this article i have read prior to seeing them in this so i can vouch for the authenticity of them.  Also note that HBGary and Bank of America have tried to claim that some of the documents are faked you should take into account that the other two Firms have made official apologises.  Which guarantees that the data is not faked in a bit and it is just HBGary and Bank of America going into damage control, makes you wonder what are in those Wikileaks files that has Bank of America scared so shit less.

Patriot Act Extended

Recently the Patriot Act has been extended, and some even asking to make it permanent.  As court cases have shown in the past that this act is entirely unconstitutional and pokes holes in 6 of the Bill of Rights.  But one thing that i did notice over the last few weeks is the Government advising everyone through the media that the US Terror Threat Level is at the highest it has been since 9/11.  Seems to me as this is some classic scare tactics to convince people that this extension of this unconstitutional act is for their own good.  I am sure later on it will be claimed that because it was extended it kept everyone safe, and i am not entirely sure that it has kept us safe for the almost past 10 years.  Seems that the recent statement by the FBI conducted searches of 40 individuals in its investigation of Anonymous's Internet sit-ins of corporate websites.  Many make the argument of "If you have nothing to hide then this doesn't hurt you".  But to m...

MBArainrot: The Credential That Trains You to Speak PowerPoint

MBArainrot: The Credential That Trains You to Speak PowerPoint The MBA used to be marketed as a passport to greatness. Pay a six-figure tuition bill, endure two years of jargon seminars, and you too could join the ranks of “leaders of tomorrow.” What it actually delivers is MBArainrot , a kind of corporate brain infection where creativity dies, buzzwords multiply, and people convince themselves that slide decks are strategy. The Sacred Case Study The beating heart of the MBA is the case study, which is basically adult fanfiction for executives. Students sit around dissecting “what Jeff Bezos should have done in 1999,” as if they are one clever sentence away from unlocking the secret to Amazon. Spoiler: the secret was luck, timing, and ruthless logistics, not a color-coded SWOT chart. Frameworks for Everything, Solutions for Nothing MBAs love frameworks the way toddlers love Legos. Porter’s Five Forces, BCG matrices, Lean Six Sigma you name it, they’ll slap it on a problem until the pro...
