Oh, no the system is absolutely broken. I'm just trying to give you a rational explanation to the concerns you raised. I've worked hard my entire life and been screwed over every step of the way. I'm unemployed, living with family, and can't afford to see a doctor. I apply for jobs but never hear back. I learned Python and Linux just because I felt like it, so I'm not unskilled. Ruined my spine unloading trucks in my early 20's, so I can't really do anything manual labor. But like, shit I feel worthless, and I don't think a functional system would put anyone through that. I can't even get assistance because I'm "too young and healthy" so like, fuck me for existing I guess.
