I'm willing to work, I don't do drugs, I have a clean record, I don't have any debt, and I don't have any dependents. I write terrible shit on the internet because I'm being gassed with drugs. If I can't make it in this country no one can.

  I went to a community appointed therapist and took drugs until I no longer was required to as per the law. 2 years probation. When I made that deal I made it clear both to my parents and to the court that this was not to be "therapy and mind altering medication for the rest of my life". And it won't be and I'm willing to die for my freedom. My mind is important to me, it's who I am. I haven't been arrested since, barring someone having me arrested and thrown in jail in Ocean Beach for 72 hours because they thought it would be funny to dress up like me and wave a gun in someone's face. I didn't have $10,000 for bail. I had to share a cell with someone who thought they could communicate with Facebook via telepathy and the king of England was telling them to kill child molesters. I switched cells to room with an "officer" in the KKK because it was an improvement. I had spent several weeks prior starving in Ocean Beach before jail. I was eating uncooked rice out of my backpack because no one would hire me. I went door to door to every restaurant on the strip and handed out my email and phone number on little pieces of paper just to wash dishes or work for food. I am stable and happy when I am not being continually drugged with marijuana against my will. Whatever my debt to society is for setting a toilet paper roll on fire in a Jewish Yeshivah because I needed a safer place to live than a dangerous inner-city homeless shelter where I thought my life was in danger has been more than paid back. This is only one of many many stories of being treated as less than a human being worthy of dignity and respect. A person who is willing and capable of working for a living. That someone who is as averagely competent as I am (I'm no genius, but I'm not an idiot either) can't find a job in this country is an indictment of the whole. I view the SVB collapse as a massive comeuppance. You know those guys doubled their book value on deposits in two years? And an exec at SVB worked as CFO at Lehman? I set two toilet paper rolls on fire and this shitstick collapsed the world economy (AGAIN). Who wants to hire this guy? Shit let me know and I'll start a collection to short his firm and donate the proceeds to the poor. Meanwhile every person who's been making the next version of pets.com (BUT THIS TIME WITH STABLE DIFFUSION/CHATGPT) is going to find that the VC money is now interested in stable companies that can, you know, MAKE MONEY. All the layoffs in big tech firms were sort of an aside, but at least this banking collapse coming when it has will mean that the "chatGPT for shoes" and "chatGPT for nails" trainwreck will stop before it becomes even more of a massive clusterfuck.
