Squid games highlight people's greed, yes.

But more so, the series also highlights the desperation of people once they feel there's no way out.

For example, the main character's debts come from an obvious gambling problem.

But in the real world, there are a lot of people who have also taken reckless debts that we wouldn't call greedy.

According to the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS), the average home loan amount in Australia as of December 2020 is about $728,500.

The majority of whom are just a rate rise or 2 away from ruin.

Would you say they're greedy, or is that the bank's/government's fault for recklessly lending?

If their debts get out of hand, there's no doubt that they'll experience that same level of desperation.

Just another layer to think about ;)
