I just feel extremely sad about the mass quantity of events like this happening right now because they are all aggregate to huge negative effects but the average person knows nothing of it. It feels so unfixable.

That's until you get disabled in an accident - or your son or daughter is.

Then you'll suddenly convert to how benefits are essential.

(In before: "I don't need a car insurance, I'll never get into any accident, I am too good a driver for that")

I have co-worker like this, he had minimal insurance, until he crashed his car and lost like 15k, doesn't need insurance for his cat until 2k vet bill, doesn't need doctors, until he gets sick..

You think he would learn at some point, but no.
