Well, they can't release his medical records, yet he survived a Senator-ordered, "We suspect you're gaming the system" review and still won, so But whatever it is, it must be 100% solid.

I was thinking about the woodworking thing .. in Finland (Denmark?) if you are unemployed, they pay you a stipend and the government will give you a no-interest loan so you can start your own business if you want. Unemployment practically non-existent there. But obviously a much smaller country, with narrower range of variety in how people think. Even if the crazy-baby guy has some skills and wanted to, there's no way, on SSI, he'd be able to afford to start making furniture to sell. He already lost his home. Shame that in America, the way to pull yourself up is to get a reality TV show.
