    Fuck that narrative. This guy is just a psychopath who was inconvenienced, not overwhelmed because of caring for his wife.

      Capitalism isn’t exploitative, it’s just an inconvenience? Oh, well that solves everything!

      Wait, no, that’s actually incomprehensibly moronic. F*** your defense of such an evil and exploitative system.

      I’m seriously ill. Nowhere near as ill as his wife was, but ill enough to not be working and to have gone to the Mayo Clinic. I’m fully aware of what a huge, overwhelming burden I’ve been to my family in terms of both finances and emotional toll.

      Do I condone what this person did? Absolutely not. But dealing with a seriously ill person is a hell of a lot more than an inconvenience. I do everything I can to make my wife and daughter’s lives as easy as possible despite my issues, but I can only do so much. There have been a lot of very difficult moments for all of us.
