Yeah, capitalism 101, good in theory but terrible for most people in practice. Look at e.g. the health system, where a major issue means total bankruptcy and life debt. A somewhat balanced system where governments protect basic needs and have some control over the markets is the ideal imo.

> total bankruptcy and life debt

Those are two different things. Bankruptcy isn't fun, but it clears your debt.
