You can build a frame around the building like a seismic upgrade. The foundation might be fucked still but by building a strong frame around its base and lower floors you can keep it from falling apart when shit gets shaky.
If you are poor or middle class you just have to learn to accept that your parents built you with a faulty foundation and it is up to you to do something about it if you want to succeed. You can't rely on paying others to fix you unless your therapy is covered.
I kinda floated through life for 32 years until I woke up from my first day using CPAP properly and was aware of being aware for the probably the first time in my life. The last 12 years are much more fulfilling and productive than all those other decades.
