20 percent of children in the US are food insecure and we have the largest prison industrial complex on the planet. If I had a shittier job and broke my leg I would end up homeless. My cousin who can't hold down a job due to a chronic illness would die on the streets if she didn't have family support. But yeah the system works.

Sounds like a lack of compassion in your family. Just build a unit and live together, makes live easier if you support each other. But no the system is the problem! Some people would be always losers, regardless the system.

What about disabled people who have no family? What about people who have family that can't support them financially? What about people who can't afford to build a unit? The system is the problem. We are more insulated from it then most.
