True, but without the risk there would be no job for them to fear losing in the first place. People need to be responsible to themselves first, and a safety net is part of that. I say that knowing I just blew through $20k+ of my own safety net after going jobless for months. It's just business after all. But then again, this is why I have no qualms giving them my upsized salary demands. Because after all, it's just business. It's harsh, reality.
The days of retiring with a gold watch and pension were gone long before I ever hit the market decades ago unfortunately.

It bugs me that it's often the poor that want free markets and cheer most for it, and shun co-op stores. The system is betraying them, they should just get away from it and focus on positive systems like co-op self-sustaining communities.
The little guys working the lines usually don't have safety nets and credentials—inherited money, money from previously founded business, mentors, a reputation, or even supportive relatives—so their fear of failure is somewhat justified.
