      There’s a suicidal way of thinking that when you are gone everyone will be better off. I think the comic could contribute to that thinking, but maybe it’s meant to be a satirical rebuttal to that thinking instead.

        I feel like anybody stuck in that state of mind would likely fail to see the satire in it.

        I don’t see that. If it’s satire it’s pretty harmful and ineffective

          I think the satire is to via hyperbole. My suicidal episodes did not make be think money would instantly appear in hand / in bank accounts, just that moving forward I would be no longer be a resource burden. This comic takes the results beyond reality to show how unreasonable even realistic expectations might be. (?)

          That’s my best defense of the satirical intent. The initial impression I got from the comic was not the satirical one; it did feel “toxic”, or at least a like a mean-spirited (not funny) “be careful what you wish for”.
