HE HAS NOT RECEIVED PAYCHECKS FOR THE LAST ALMOST 8 YEARS IN THE BIG TECH NOR STARTUPS INDUSTRIES THEREFORE HE HAS NO SORROWS BY THE MASSIVE LAYOFFS THAT EVERYBODY IS FACING. THE REPORTS THAT HE WRITES ARE OF UTMOST IMPORTANCE, DUE TO PREDICTIVE ANALYSIS, WHICH CAN HELP VARIOUS IMPORTANT PEOPLE MAKE EXECUTIVE DECISIONS, ESPECIALLY IN THE WORLD OF TECH, THE ECONOMY, WORLD AFFAIRS / AFFAIRES ÉTRANGÈRES / DIPLOMACY, AND THE WORLD OF MUSIC AND THE WORLD OF GAMING.

YOU ARE ALL COMPLICIT IN THIS DISASTER AND WILL SUFFER THE CONSEQUENCES, MORE MASSIVE LAYOFFS UNTIL I RECEIVE A SALARY. THERE WILL BE A NEW SEASON OF UNDERCOVER BOSS ON CBS. THE TRUMP PRESIDENCY HAS BEEN A TOTAL DISASTER AND MORE DISCRIMINATION TOWARDS MINORITIES TOOK PLACE.

Double the Hope - Holiday Matching Gift Challenge — Your gift will be matched until December 31!⁠ That’s twice the funding for research, twice the education for healthcare professionals, and twice the momentum for breakthroughs. [The Ehlers-Danlos Society] I’ve had Ehlers Danlos Syndrome (Chronic Illness) my whole life, I’ve been discriminated in the workplace and in the dating world because of it. Please support this cause. It means a lot to me. Thank you.

Bipolar Disorder — Ohio State offers comprehensive care for people with bipolar disorder that is personalized to each individual and their needs. [The Ohio State University - Wexner Medical Center] I’ve dealt with Mental Health since 2008 and Bipolar Disorder since 2010. It is treatable, and I’d like to thank every Doctor throughout the last 15-17 years, especially my current Psychiatrist/Therapist. If you suffer from this illness, listen to your doctor, take your meds (usually it’s nightly), and you will remain stable. I’ve been stable since 2011. Very proud of myself. You will be stigmatized for having Bipolar disorder, whether in the working world or the dating world. You will have to prove yourself to Companies, and to the Opposite Sex. In 2011, I couldn’t find work because they googled me and saw I had bipolar syndrome, and a woman disappeared after a single date when she had a Big Pretzel with sauce at the Mall because more than likely, she googled me and saw my Mental Illness. Now in 2025, I am the Founder, CEO, Senior Project Manager of ZACK TECHNOLOGY LLC, my Startup/Company/Corporation. I advise the AFA, and I am eager to join #LaFrenchTechSF, due to discrimination by #YCombinator because I am neither White nor Indian. If anybody needs a Project Manager whether Remote/Hybrid or on-site, contact me on LinkedIn. You can build yourself, and eventually you will receive the fruits of your labor. It took me over 10 years to get where I am. Right now, due to the massive layoffs in Tech, I am not receiving a salary. But I said, if I don’t get a salary, neither should others, it is only fair. It’s been 7-8 years without a salary.
