    I’m the furthest thing from an expert on this whole situation, but the fact that he was able to “give up” being poor once he had a health problem implies to me that there definitely was a safety net.

      Fair point I guess, although like everyone else ITT I haven’t watched the videos so we’re all just speculating here, aren’t we.

      Also, earning five grand a month is not exactly what I’d consider “poor”. In fact, it’s just a grand shy of a median household income in the US.
