I’m deeply invested in bitterness for leaving 1 comment pointing out that it might not even be a choice for someone if they couldn’t afford it? Lol. Get a grip. I can simultaneously be thankful that modern medicine exists and also advocate for it being available to everyone, not just those that can afford it.

So what should they do without 10 days of income they likely need for food, shelter, etc? Not eat? Get evicted? Sounds like a great way to not avoid death

Interesting! Thank you for the insight, I’ve always loved the topic of direct translation vs contextual translation ever since I dove into it in a Contemporary Japanese Literature course in college

Would “just throw the whole thing away” (as in throw it into the trash) be a more fitting translation for the sentiment than “let it rot” then?
