OP, read this person's post and realize they are a few months away from being totally fucked and yet are the lucky one.
They work two jobs, and they are the lucky one.
In countries with actual social safety nets people can afford to work one job, they take vacations, they don't have to struggle to afford medical care, it is covered because it is a human right.
Those countries aren't suffering because they are completely capitalistic, companies in these countries are prospering and yet they help their population prosper as well.
