I mean if you can forget the feeling of overwhelming, panic-inducing claustrophobia that is kind of the hallmark of feeling like you have no way out. It's like saying that a hundred thousand dollars of debt when you have a minimum wage job gives you freedom because you have nothing to lose. I mean you still have to work your way out of debt while being the kind of person who has a minimum wage job as if you aren't in fact the kind of person who has a minimum wage job.
