This is all good and optimistic but is a little bit in denial of the currently reality.
I don't think it's super surprising news to anyone and most people have done everything you've mentioned and are still struggling to get a job so it seems a little cruel to place the blame on them when the market is gone.

The current reality is still better than 2009-10, when millions of fresh grads even in technical roles went into economy with 11% unemployment and had to take close to min wage jobs if they could find them at all.
I have many peers still recovering from that recession, and some never found meaningful employment and are still in dire straits financially.
The current situation is far better in comparison, especially for techies who had a decade of cushy jobs to pad their safety net.
But...I'm not saying either of those things. Both are extreme positions. If you read my original post, I'm looking for a company that can take me on and help me get to that next level while I work for them (aka "investing in its people"). They exist, but the barriers to entry are tricky to navigate, hence why I asked for advice from someone in the field.
Sweeping ideas about blanket positivity are not practical solutions, so the previous comment (and, by extension, yours) are pretty unhelpful.
Musk has explicitly and repeatedly said that his standard for free speech is that which complies with the law in any given country. The logic is that domestic laws represent the will of their citizens and it shouldn't be a corporation's (or a billionaire's) responsibility to second guess this.
Quote — "By “free speech”, I simply mean that which matches the law. I am against censorship that goes far beyond the law. If people want less free speech, they will ask government to pass laws to that effect. Therefore, going beyond the law is contrary to the will of the people." [0]
Quote — "Like I said, my preference is to hew close to the laws of countries in which Twitter operates. If the citizens want something banned, then pass a law to do so, otherwise it should be allowed." [1]
Personally I think this the only sane stance for a corporation like Twitter/X. We shouldn't be looking to capitalist non-democratic corporations as an end-run around governments — especially democratic governments.
If it's so plain and clear, please post the evidence that lockdowns prevented hospitals from being overwhelmed.
Meanwhile, in Texas all Covid restrictions were lifted in March... and no co-oresponding surge in infections were recorded, infections decrease to record lows actually..only 16% had received first dose of vaccine, TX was 48th in vaccination rates.
Florida and other states had similar results when they lifted restrictions.
From here the evidence appears to be in favor of lockdowns having no effect.
