Back

So there's another quirk people don't know about the AIDS crisis. Sometimes people just tried to party until they died. Especially with a bit of money. You could give it away, but if you died, nobody could inherit it. No gay marriage, families would lay claim. Maybe you'd donate your wealth if you had some. But sometimes? You just party. Max on the credit cards, nobody's gonna assume your debt either. You've got great credit and a year to live, go out in style. It's not like credit card companies weren't funding the politicians that were sandbagging making progress on it all.

But then AZT comes along. Shit. People might actually live through this.

(When you watch RENT, think about this. It makes it make a bit more sense.)
