Bonus Episode: "Living on the brink"

There's an old movie On Borrowed Time  in which Sir Cedric Hardwicke plays Mr. Brink, a reference to the brink of death. It seems more than one economy finds itself on the brink these days. How many are truly on borrowed time?

Key topics:

✔️ People choosing between food and warmth in the winter.
✔️ "The forgotten people."
✔️"Survival for only 19 days" following a job loss.
✔️"Running faster to stand still or even move backwards."
✔️"Many people have cut back right down to the bone."
  ✔️$20/hr jobs and still homeless.
