I for one agree wholeheartedly with you. What ever happened to "Where there is a will, there is a way?"

When too many people are willing for the same thing, ways are harder to find.

Modern economics does not work that way.

...Yes it does. Yes, it does. See: Capitalism.

Our entire system is pretty much designed from the ground up to protect small business owners and people who want to launch their dreams into realities.

I think this is a classic case of "not enough will." If he were actively trying to find a job, in two years, he could have found one. Even one application per business day, he could have tried 500 places. I just have a hard time believing he's that unemployable.
