- t-writescode 5y agoThat's not much money at all for a large institution. This statement seems a bit ... tripe in light of real world complexities.
- Grakel 5y agoTrite? Tripe is something else.
- northwest65 5y agoTripe is also another slang word for bullshit.
- esalman 5y agoThat's a lot of money for graduate researchers who make <30k a year.
- t-writescode 5y agoIt wouldn't even cover 100 of them.
- listenallyall 5y agoAre you suggesting this person's mental health issues and other contributing factors would have all gone away had he been handed a check for a few hundred dollars?
- Rebelgecko 5y agoFrom your link it doesn't sound like the suicide was due to financial reasons. Regardless, $20m split tens of thousands of ways also doesn't go very far. On the order of like $300 per person per year.
