    He can’t get most normal jobs. Every job application has a part where you have to admit if you’re a felon and then do background checks. He also can’t rent in almost any place owned by a corporation instead of an individual. It’s actually a serious problem for non-violent and/or actually reformed ex-cons which don’t their time. But the incarceration industrial complex and the government that allows it don’t care, it’s just punish and forget. Then the rich felons like the Orange scrotum are unaffected and just get gigs in politics, sell books, expensive speaking jobs, become talking news heads, and all kinds of other disruptive, cancerous blights.
