Not everyone in capitalism is a winner, and that's ok. The big advantage is that the losers are usually offered the opportunity to work and make a living.
The alternative is crossing your fingers and hoping the government (or whatever body is responsible for distributing pay) gives you what you need. If they don't, tough luck, there's nothing you can do about it.
As opposed to under capitalism where you have to cross your fingers and hoping that one of those winners will offer you a job with living wage, while another doesn't charge you an arm and leg for housing.
If none of the winners offer you a job, make your own, or acquire some marketable skill. You have options and opportunities.
There aren't as many options for housing as I'd like honestly. I'd prefer less regulation to allow for lower quality, cheaper housing. As it stands though, you still have options and the ability to improve your living conditions.
Ableism at it’s best. I bet you‘re gonna ask for compensation if you ever get disabled for some reason.
