If you're someone on the edge, with little support, it's pretty easy to just give in. If you're trying to get by on a minimal salary and/or you have other factors working against you (ex mental health, history of abuse, lack of support from family, etc), staying afloat is just harder these days. Everyone's been knocked down a few notches on the socio-economic ladder. If you didn't have the luck to be born high in the first place, it doesn't take much to fall off. Plus society is really making it difficult for anyone to achieve any kind of social mobility.
I don't see this getting any better soon.

Thank you your post. Very informative.
Wondering if you could clarify what you mean here, are you talking about transportation?
