Nothing has failed except you Taverner. I usually give people a wide berth when it comes to hard knocks, knowing all to well that sometimes, well sh*t happens, but really how much of his failure in a capitalistic society have to do with a string of failed drug tests and an attitude that promotes an ego the size of a small country with little results to back it up. And even if you take that out of the equation, in a land where freedom and opportunity abound, the way to reconcile the mistakes one has made in their life is not to change the whole system, but to change themselves and how THEY do things. This isn't exactly Soviet Russia or the deserts of Saudi Arabia as far as oppression goes.
