    Husband’s statement says she’d been living with non small cell lung cancer for 2 years. I hope that time after she stopped working built good memories for her family.

      This is why I am at odds with this “work hard and retire early” and “live way below your means” thing, you never know if there is going to be a later, and wasting your 20s, 30s, 40s, even 50s to have a happy 60s or 70s seems like a dystopic thing to do.

        That’s the vibe I am getting but that is not the reaction I am personally experiencing.

        I am completely for carving up and eating all the rich corporate overlords, but not by cancer. Fuck cancer.

          why is her cancer warrants fake news coverage being blasted for days on social media when we don’t do the same for every wage slave with cancer?

            I will concede that point that her cancer is no more deserving than any other cancer.
