    then you can certainly go back to looking after your needs solo.

    The only certainty here is homelessness (or living in your car in a Walmart parking-lot).

    Not like there’s a lot of free unclaimed land (especially with natural resources) and even if there were you’d still need to travel to get there (good luck with that with little money, and/or using your human legs in USA). You’d most likely be stealth-camping in empty sections of trees next to highways and hoping to not get hassled by somebody, eating gas-station food.

    You might find something better with cooperation, but again good luck finding it and having a smooth experience especially as it will likely still require money for housing. But living without income today is most likely going to be a generally worse experience than many have had working for (the well-being of) their family/community in the past. Not saying it was perfect, but yeah I’d rather die to unpreventable hardship than living like this and likely dying to some preventable issue because of money. “In stage 4 we say maybe there’s something we could’ve done but… it’s too late now.”
