The other half tends to be stuff like random people, or some "punishment" for some perceived transgression or whatever. But it's fucking insane how often it does just start with not being able to afford basic medical care.

Just realized that as I watched Cinema Summery on "Would You Rather" where he's basically like yeah she has no choice but to join.

    The point of Breaking Bad is that Walter became a massive drug lord not because he needed the money for cancer but because he wanted to. In the first few episodes his big shot rich "friend" offers to fully pay for his treatment and he turns him down. The rest of the series is Walter coming to terms with the fact that he just wants power and to feel important rather than lying to himself that he's becoming a kingpin "for his family" or some bs like that. If it wasn't cancer it would've been something else.
