‘This is stealing’ ; Instagram account lets you squat in metro homes
At first glance, it looks just like another real estate pro hustling to rent homes on social media.
You're viewing a single thread.
Holmes told Channel 2 consumer investigator Justin Gray that he used his life savings to buy a DeKalb County home out of foreclosure eight months ago as a rental property.
Aaaaaaand there goes all my sympathy...
But he just wanted to find someone else to make all the payments for him and eventually provide a passive income. These damn squatters are just trying to get something for free.
(Corporate wants you to find the differences in these photos...)
Capitalism is weird.
Capitalism is weird broken
FTFY
Also that.
The dumb thing is that it almost works very well. Stuff people deem important gets built, and if you need to buy something there's always somebody selling it. It's just that there's no cap on how much stuff you can have, and through a quirk of mathematics at some point getting more stuff becomes self-perpetuating.
It breaks down significantly when the cost of entry becomes prohibitively expensive.
You think you can build a better toothbrush? Go for it.
You hate your ISP and want to start a new one? Good fucking luck.
Yeah, that's sure true. In the very long term it can change, but you have to wait for another titan to do it.
