        This clip appears to be just a fragment of a conversation that was stepped on by other traffic, but he is saying something about "chalking it up" to minimum wage.pic.twitter.com/clkUp69A0D

        Just to be clear: I don't think any of this is funny. I'm not trying to make light of the situation or to make fun of someone who is clearly in crisis. I think it's profoundly sad. I just hope these clips can help shed light on the man's state of mind.
