"What Got You Here Won't Get You There"

The name of the book stays in my head rent free (even though the book itself probably isn't worth reading). So far, 40s look like that to me.

Also, maybe that "socialist support net" Europe has, and techbros loved to diss, isn't so laughable right now?

Why do you think Europe is much different in this regards? It's still a dog eat dog world.

It might be, but I still prefer to not die of banal disease or indebt my whole family for it just because i was temporarily out of work.

Yes. There are traps and many kinds of countries in "Europe", but in many of them you're guaranteed to never be homeless or starving or left without medical care long term if you accept the help.
