Yes, but the ones who haven't even had to develop modern skills are especially screwed. Don't miss the point just because you want to be pedantic.

There's nothing pedantic about it. The comment makes no sense.

What fantasy land are you living in where working class individuals are learning survival skills? What the fuck is even a modern skill?

I'm well off and spend thousands of hours being a mechanic for fun. You think someone with less time and resources than me can fix their car better because they had to figure it out to get to work a few times?

You think some random dude working two jobs is going to be better prepared than a guy with the time to have a dedicated hobby?
