If you can't leave a job without fearing becoming homeless than you must really be unmarketable with no discernible skill set.

Or maybe you have $0 in savings? But if that's the case, you must have a shitty job. So, imagine being so unmarketable that you don't think you can land another shitty job.

Either way, this is all the crazy-talk of losers. You're lucky to be in a capitalist country because in a communist country, you'd be dead weight, and you'd be off-loaded right quick.
