I think this represents an upgrade from being chased by tigers. Sedentaryism, metabolic syndrome, being fired by the machine, sweatshops, homelessness, addiction, those are downsides from foraging aboriginal lifestyle. But being terrified of losing money is different than being terrified of getting literally eaten.
