Halfway to Startup?

NB: The following partial post is otherwise-unedited copy from a period during which I was experiencing trauma severe enough to merit weekly therapy. If it seems like a horrible idea to attempt to run a Sole Proprietorship while actively experiencing trauma and executive dysfunction, you are someone who is adequately equipped to think rationally about how an effective social safety net does and does not function. Feel free to reach out to me at lktuominen@outlook.com to discuss opportunities to support testing on a proprietary approach to return-to-work after disablement. I'm my own test subject.
