If the world devolves into absolute shit for everybody, for carlos, it's not going to be that much of a change
He gets his food from rubbish bins, he survives solely on surplus and excess. If there is a squeeze he will suffer far more than anyone else
>he will suffer far more than anyone else
I don't think so
You for instance, if you had to live just like carlos right now, overnight, chances are you would consider suicide
If society ever gets to the point that I can't buy food then they sure as fuck aren't throwing food out and people's charity will dry up. Sure he would fare better if we were both thrust forward 30 years to a post apocalyptic nightmare but he's basically there already and I'm living in a house with supplies. If supply chains got worse and food shortages became a real issue, supermarkets wouldn't be throwing out as much food, and if they did you better believe regular people will be taking what they can get in the dumpster.
He's only surviving there because things are so good now that people can survive on what is thrown away. If things aren't thrown away he dies.
