I can acknowledge that she's probably an awful person and deserves to be destitute while simultaneously feeling sympathy for her and not wanting her to make any rash decisions and make her situation worse.

Things are pretty bleak. Not in a "haha trump is gonna look so dumb" kind of way, but a supply chain interruption, famine, rioting and civil unrest kind of way.

There's lots of people to blame but that doesn't make me feel any better.

They need to feel pain to get educated, she mentioned she is not educated.

She's on a pension. You think this will inspire her to go get a degree?

The pain from the market crash will give her all the education she need.

Many investors learn how to invest better and keep emotions out after losing money on the stock market. She obviously have never experienced her investment losing money before so she is panicking.
