Money cannot buy happiness, if you don't know what you need, or what you need cannot be bought.

I am not saying that all cases of human suffering falls into that category, but a lot of them do.

>As far as you know they killed themselves months or years later than they otherwise would have...

That means, they tried to buy happiness, but failed to do so, right?

It might not be able to "buy happiness" but it can alleviate a lot of unhappy stuff forced upon people, like not affording health care, living in a dump, working 2 shitty jobs, etc...
