There's bound to always be some number of people in that situation, but there's also plenty of ways we can do better to make society work for more of us.
My pet theory is that the #1 problem in the USA in the past few decades is wealth inequality, and if we can find ways to stop the rich extracting wealth from the poor, many of our issues will sort themselves out.
