I believe the word here is "fragile"

Our lives are extremely fragile. A little loss or set back in life can have one living on the streets in short order. And people are recognizing that.

And the "safety net" isn't really there, like the dumbocraps say it is.
I paid tons into "unemployment tax", but when i got unemployed they didn't even pay enough to cover my tiny house payment.

Have a car to drive to work, to pay for the house and the car, to drive to work...
The trifecta, losing any of which destroys your life.

And then, we have all this "stuff" which is mostly very cheap crap.
Even our computers are crap, as they have so many flaws and bugs.
And our items not only own us, they keep track of us and report us to the gov't.

So, if an average person stops and takes stock of their position.
They own nothing of real value.

And, even if they saved, if it wasn't in the high risk stock market, their money has been eaten away by inflation.
