The article is mostly separate of my point--this is quite alright. HN would be boring if every comment was only to be directly related to whatever article was being discussed.<p>It is strongly hinted (at least in my reading) that the money required to cover the fuckups <i>could&#x27;ve</i> been at least partially covered by the author&#x27;s pre-divorce wealth; had they written something like &quot;even without the divorce I couldn&#x27;t have fixed the troubles we were in&quot; then it would&#x27;ve been much clearer.
