if employers want that then consider me unemployed for life.

You might need to put me in the same boat. I don’t play those hr games. I figure that if there is bullshit in the interview process there will be bullshit in the job and it is fine by me if they take themselves out of the running for my next employment.

It has already happen. Look what happen in 08. The banks did the foreclosures and then just sat on the properties or sold them in mass to someone else. There wasn’t any auctions on the courthouse steps for the local populace to bid only a dollar.

No. The auctions wouldn’t happen in person but online. Some reit or foreign money or both will bid more than the locals could afford.
