Something catastrophic can break the finances of anyone but the most wealthy. Just ask people to cover standard costs at a 99% probability or something and provide a safety net for that when life hits hard

Yes but
People across the world are up against the same problem
How does everyman fight back, when a powerful ingroup controls the levers of power across institutions? Vote harder when there is a lack of faith in the process? Run for office when they will just burn a limitless pile of cash to crush you?
