   Here I am thinking I'm unhireable because I don't have a bachelor's (dropped out) and this guy is absolutely crushing it despite having a criminal record.

   US job market rocks! This can only happen in US. I love this about America, it gives people second chances.

   To make amends, to make broken men unbroken again

     @impactology America only gives certain kinds of people second chances

     @impactology Roughly along privilege lines, with a lot of luck sprinkled in. The more disadvantaged you are, the most likely you are to have liabilities instead of safety nets – sick family members with big medical debts being the most common one. My experience is most people who have a turn of bad luck never really recover (many stories about a "gap in a resume" being a genuine career-killer), and stories like guys' this mostly just get used to justify keeping the whole system the way it is.
