"in america it's pretty easy to keep yourself alive" it's easy to keep yourself alive in any country unless they're undergoing a major famine. the problem is being miserable, causing irreversible damage to multiple body parts, looking 35 when you're 25, brain cells getting killed off by the day and future dementia. it's easy to keep yourself alive but there's a reason why the extremely poor people do horribly in school and at work.
