I didn't see the warnings and 128 was an ice rink. You could tell there was no pre treatment, let alone much. Given that when I looked at the weather in the am and it was meh, and then a few hours laters, warning came up everywhere, i'm guessing we were all caught a little flat footed.

I think I passed 30+ cars on the side of the road and my car felt like it was slipping and sliding for most of the ride.

I think this was more caught unawares than being hit by capitalism. The healthcare comment though, yeah with you.

A functional society that didn’t solely use its citizens as bare bones commercial labor fodder would have foreseen this without even thinking :)

I see you are also a person who has had it with the American oligarchy. While I’m most likely closer to social democracy than any other form of government; I’m pretty tired of living through the hellscape of idolizing billionaires at the detriment of we the people.
