This is actually an older news story, and it does appear as though she recovered from this before her death.

Our fault for not being born into rich families, I guess? :\

No, no, no; if you work really hard and really apply yourself, you too can become a titan of industry and make your billions of dollars. If you aren't at least a millionaire, it's because you are just too dumb and lazy to succeed. Go back to school, work longer hours, read more books, get better ideas. In the meantime, I'm hungry, flip my burger faster, and what do you mean you want more than $7.25/hour, it's not like this is a real job.

The biggest /s imaginable.

You all keep saying /s but they never do saying exactly that.

Yeah, I'm just specifying that I'm being sarcastic.
