In a society that only focuses on interests and does not care about human relationships, the killing line is just an appearance. Although it is not a specific design, it is indeed the result of the development of capitalism. Different social classes have killing lines, which are determined by the essence of capitalism. Only with the support of the system can the emergence of a killing line be avoided.
High salaries cannot compete with high costs. The proportion of fixed expenses such as housing and healthcare in the United States is too large, and once unemployment income is interrupted, even an annual salary of 450000 yuan cannot sustain it for half a year. The "kill line" mentioned in the article is crucial - many American families appear glamorous on the surface, but their actual ability to resist risks is extremely weak, and they cannot even afford a sudden expenditure of $1000. This is not an isolated case, but a systemic dilemma.
