Unfortunately, neither of these are true. The unemployment numbers are
"adjusted" based on people who have given up work and many of those jobs are part time waiters and bartenders or low skill stuff like Amazon stockers. The stock market numbers are an illusion created by fiat money.
When priced in gold, the stock market has never recovered from the dot com crash. It just looks that way due to all of the Fed printing.

Seeing others from your situation go on to become successful and having faith the process works. No idea if the platinum plan will achieve this. If it's just more money, it won't work. Also, my focus isn't on "EQUALITY OF ALL" my focus is on "BETTER FOR ALL." I don't care if Bezos has 2 trillion or 20 trillion. I care if people at all levels are improving. Capitalism when it's well executed does this.

All of this is excellent, especially the parts on equality and mentorship. But why hasn't this approach worked already? Has every social worker since 1960 been doing it wrong?

OK, this is all very reasonable. Except that I think you would be absolutely shocked if you found out where all that funding was coming from.

Certainly reasonable. But what do you think about
http://www.deepthroatipo.com/ ? (normally I would post a link, but his name is just too good). The short version is if our cumulative deficit with China is some $20 trillion then, adding in interest,
the CCP owns some $40 trillion in US stocks and bonds via a large number of shell companies.
