This episode introduces an individual who originated from the Island life into a city full of labor and economic struggle. As a teenager, he witnessed the pain of the impoverished in the streets, as well as his own financial strain. Living by himself in his own home, he discusses his employment story and his involvement in entrepreneurship, describing the strict requirements of employment and education to survive and pay for utilities. However, his economic situation remains unchanged as taxes gradually increase.
