We could talk about the coming oil crisis, housing new builds will stay nonexistent due to steel and concrete pricing still skyrocketing even with Lumber falling, or the famine that seems brewing.

Talking about aggrieved computer touchers and the house they wish to buy is great content.

Another notable "rocket docket" court involved Lee County, Florida (Fort Myers), home of numerous foreclosure proceedings due to the collapse of the Florida housing market as a result of the financial crisis of 2007–2008, part of the 2010 United States foreclosure crisis. On some days, the court heard up to 1,000 cases per day; assuming an 8-hour day, this equates to less than 30 seconds per case. The entire case frequently consists of two questions: whether the homeowner is behind on payments, and whether they are still in the house. If yes, the judge allows the homeowner 60 days to come to an agreement with the bank for payments or lose the house.[7]

ive personally done 100 foreclosure cases in a morning and know people who talked about the 'good old days' when they could bang out 3-400 in an hour. evictions calls were almost always 100+ each morning in each of the 5 rooms.

but like i said, average timelines matter.

without having to get too into the weeds on it, there was a judge like the one mentioned there in cook county. he would have every homeowner walk up to the front of the room and say "ok, there's 4 ways to win this case [lists them]. I'm assuming none of these apply to you. This means that this case, which started over a month ago, will take at least 11 more months and you'll have a few more trips to see me, and I'll be the one who tells you when you finally need to move out."

he had by far and away the fastest uncontested call and fastest contested call. and that was at least a year in the house

The TrueAnon series on Musk is really good. I'm not a fan of everything they do, but they laid out really well the Tesla shell game. At the end, Liz said that Tesla's fall was a matter of when, not if. What if it's not and TBTF is a new paradigm for the next stage of capitalism. A sort of techno-feudalism where there's a founder class that can only fail upward, but the peasants are also invested in their success because failure of the founders' shell game companies would mean the loss of the peasants' jobs and savings. One class can afford to lose a fortune, and the other can't afford to lose even the crumbs they have, so the founders don't even have to defend this system, the peasants will do it for them. If the bubble looks like it'll pop, no worries, the workers will immiserate themselves further to keep it going.

As long as the US government continues to have the will and means to print infinite dollars consequence-free to bailout any market whoopsies, everything is TBTF including Tesla.

oh poo poo. this is why i shouldnt get into the arcane bullshit lawyers love

Each major county during the foreclosure crisis would have at least one dedicated judge to those cases, if not more. I believe Cook county had 8-10, and its surroundings 3 or so. For the sake of keeping things moving so attorneys weren't sitting around forever, each judge would have a morning and afternoon 'call.' The standard here would be something like a 9:30am start and a 1:00pm start.

All cases would go to the 'uncontested' call first, where no defendants had filed an appearance or done anything else, because hey, brand new case. What would normally happen is a bunch of defense attorneys would stand up, say hi to the judge, and have some orders entered switching the scheduling over to the other time slot. Individuals without attorneys would do the same ,but get some help from the court to figure out what was going on, and then they'd also go to the same 'contested' call. The contested call would often have a day each week where people were expected to get up and make brief arguments, and sometimes even have real arguments.

For whatever reasons, some counties would have fewer than 20% of cases any defendants appear, and some counties have over 50%.
But what this actually meant in practice was the judge would start the call of 100 cases, and look around and see 20 defendants/lawyers. She'd have each of them come up, handle their case. Now it's nothing but bank attorneys. And boom, time to move through the 80 remaining cases on the docket. Some judges would look through every single number and check that everything matched, so you learned to highlight those documents and have them ready to go in order so things would be sped up.
Other judges would say 'what do you want? No one is contesting, I'll enter whatever order you're looking for'


The whole point of this is that the judge who told defendants they couldn't win essentially discouraged them from hiring attorneys, leading to him having to do less work overall. This meant that his next free dates to hear an argument were quite quick. But even with that, the minimum time to clear a case out was a year.
Other judges who encouraged defendants to hire attorneys and encouraged arguments? 6-8 months to schedule the next hearing. And any smart defendant would just file a motion to reconsider each time they lost, which would get them ... another 6-8 months. So they probably averaged 3 years a case (1 year for people not showing up, 5 years for people who did).


This is why you can't take much from journalists saying wow this court room went through a thousand cases in one day!!! Because chances are, that day was set up to hear cases where no one was defending the case and everyone was just stamping things as fast as they could.
