    It often works that way. Look at lottery winners and NFL players who end up broke as fuck overnight.

    Anecdote: Knew a guy who scored a cool $1,000,000 off the VA for a testicular cancer misdiagnosis. Somehow blew every penny in 12-months, lost it all, ended up worse off. And promptly died.

    This’ll trip everyone up. Paying more does not lead to better outcomes. Y’all should love it. If you read between the lines, there’s a lot of Linux culture in there. Explains much of what I’ve seen IRL.
