Yeah, I've known a few people to drop out of school, mostly crypto-rich people, but nobody with Ralph's living situation. Having even a full semester left is usually worth the hassle for those people. Ralph has no options if the Killstream fails: He's approaching 40 with no work history and a GED as his highest education. It's pretty clear he hasn't secretly been becoming a musician or artist on the side. When the donos dry up - either because he mouths off to Nick Fuentes and loses his last real streaming venue or he gets tossed in the clink again and his paypigs have the habit of donating broken and don't come back - he's completely fucked. He doesn't even need to lose his stream to be fucked if the Vickers had IQ's above freezing and nailed him for child support already.
