I think I agree with Ed.

I've had epic rants about what boils down to a few things as a biger picture problems:

Peoples Maslows being messed with

Stuff getting to gloopy 

Stuff being made overly complicated

To little simple joy 

Aholery.

In other words: where's star fleet, picard and kirk when you need them

I get pissed off at those problem because strike uncofortably close to home for me. I have a nice appartment fam lets use and may let me rent eventually. Part of my end of the bargain is when I get work to cover bills and as dad puts it manage the problems.

Their is a instagram meme making the rounds saying:

What's wrong with this picture:Americans don't do on the job training for people to put stuff on shelves or pay them well., then want them to have a physics PHD, 10 years of experience to get started.  But don't mind a unstable xenophobic, racist,  man with no political experience as president.

I am experiencing some of the problems Ed has nailed. Fortunatly for me (some) of my skills are transferable. I genuinly like some parts of tech support, I think it's fun. 

Santa Fe has only 5 temp agencies (for example), those (can) make getting back into work much simpler because their is no risk for anyone. Kelly Services  just couldn't keep up work and moved to Albquerky(sp), and even then acording to them they're bairly getting acounts.

Indeed.com and craig's list NM are crap shots

I've had people from indeed say they simply don't have the time or money anymore to do on the job traning or they'd hire me that day.

At the risk of pissing off a lot of my friends, Owen's proposal strikes me as tokenism at its worst. If we elites want to do more than talking to and emailing each other, I’d suggest that we instead spend some of our time doing something to help the sad state of education and the economy in NM. I don’t know how many of you realize that 75% of the children in the SF schools qualify for food aid and the district scores at the bottom of the state’s districts every year. The Alliance for Science has tutoring programs and some of you are judges at the Science Fairs (where there is still the need for more judges). We need sponsors for the Supercomputing Challenge. I could go on and on with other opportunities but I think point is clear.

I noted that Clinton won SF County by about a 3 to 1 margin. So if people want to have lunch with other kinds of folks, how about driving down south? An then there’s Texas.

Pretty dramatic example of The Problem Of Class.

Google for some Pentecostal or other Evangelical churches in the area (esp. in the outskirts or poorer part of town), and go to them on the weekend.  In the spirit of contrition and all that.

Now that *would* be radical.
