I went for an extended visit to Japan a few years a back to visit some relatives, and the cultural shellshock from coming back here to cops walking around the airport with drug dogs while terrorism warnings blared out over the PA and driving back to my apartment through the crumbling infrastructure and garbage piles and everywhere was pretty crazy, and I've lived here my entire life.

I was overseas for a couple of months 15 years ago and I too couldn’t get over how lovely everything was when I got back to the states. the roads all suck rear end, there’s police everywhere, the houses are all made of cardboard, billboards and lovely falling apart cars everywhere, no infrastructure except for highways and crappy fascist police run airports. garbage country

lol dont u live in like rural PA. jobs are 90% networking these days and ur fighting with every remote person from google that got laid off.

a bunch of people i work with all fanned out to cheaper places to live to work remotely and now are getting hosed when they get laid off. Well, except one guy that lived very frugally and squirreled away nearly all of his salary for a decade in case this happened. he gets to live cheaply in bumfuck hillbillysville arkansas and doesn't care about getting another job any time soon. the people buying teslas and popping out kids to fill their mcmoderns with and paying for private school tuitions are super hosed though

The Ugly Truth Behind “We Buy Ugly Houses”

https://www.propublica.org/article/ugly-truth-behind-we-buy-ugly-houses

quote:

In an interview, a former employee of the ad agency hired by HomeVestors recalled discussions about how to serve online ads to people in the vicinity of nursing homes and rehabilitation hospitals. The goal was to catch families who needed to sell assets so Medicaid would pay their nursing home costs. The employee, who asked not to be named because they still work in the industry, also recalled the agency’s owner bragging about the ability of its digital advertising to find an elderly person who had broken a hip. That injury, the employee reported the owner saying, is effectively a 60-day countdown to death — and, possibly, a deal.

“If we can get in front of people at that point, that was like a definite way to go,” the former employee said. “Yeah, that was bad. My stomach hurts thinking about that.”

quote:

Up to half of a franchise’s prospects must be generated by its own legwork, what HomeVestors refers to as “dig leads.” The company’s training manual teaches franchisees to build relationships with those who interact with people in difficult situations: nursing home administrators, probate officers, divorce lawyers. It also instructs them to comb neighborhoods for clues of distress — water shutoff notices, police tape, boarded-up windows, burn scars — and pounce on signs of desperation. If a family’s belongings are on the curb, for example, the directive is clear: “Quickly pursue the property where the trash pile indicates eviction.”

quote:

“That cat piss smell, you know what that smell is?” he said with a chuckle. “That’s money.”

No surprise that the we buy ugly houses business model is ghoulish and predatory, but there are some interesting details in this investigation.
