Keep working tax slaves - social security recipients, welfare loafers and corporate conglomerates are depending on you.

What do you think this young man had left over in his pocket after a week working in the coffee shop? Like, maybe ZERO. And what's he got after traveling turd world locals for a week? Pretty much the same thing. And while he learned nothing pouring coffee, he probably learned a few things in whatever slum he was traveling through. How to stay alive in dangerous situations if nothing else.

"Street-smart" and "world-wise" used to be compliments. Apparently not so much anymore after reading most of these comments. The guy was in a dead-end job. Ten years from now if he'd kept pouring coffee he would still have nothing in the bank and no prospects for anything better. After ten years of traveling the world on the cheap he has learned a lot. Some of it might even be marketable should he later decide to settle down in your world and become one more tax serf among many.

Starve the beast. Learn to make your own way in the world without being a cog in the modern, locked-down world.

He could learn street smarts by walking through some “interesting” neighbourhoods in the USA. Heck, go to work for a bookie or a pawnbroker and learn some street smarts. he does have that whole studying energy healing thing to fall back on, though. Lots of gullible people would pay him money to wave crystals over their body.
