I don't know if I like this interpretation, I mean it's true and i don't like it, but it puts blame on him for the fucked up system... With the shitty pay and hours of fast food we don't know if missing even one day of work means he couldn't pay bills.

Even in an ideal fully automated luxury gay space communist society, nothing is ever truly completely automated, you'll need some people you can count on to be there to push the buttons every day. This is one of those people, our society just wastes him.

I'm not trying to put the blame on him. I'm more trying to say that maybe he should be paid enough to afford housing and his job should provide sick days and maybe even Healthcare. This guy was grinding himself to death while putting others at risk just so he could get by. That's not his fault. He was doing what he needed to do to get by. It's messed up that he had to do that.

Despite what I said, I got that.

IDK, it was tone policing I should have phrased it better.
