HN posters are mostly corporate workers, or institutionalized in some way. The individual is always wrong in their eyes, institutions are always right.

If an individual goes broke wracking up medical debt, "Too bad. You should have been more economically useful." If the government goes broke, "Uh, it's no problem."

I get it. They were trained to despise individuals and worship institutions. They stop singing this song when they get edged out of the system though. I've met many middle aged programmers that gave up all hope in life because they lost their economic value.

Hope you people aren't one of them.
