Barb's not looking great, but all of the people insisting she's about to keel over after her appearance on stream yesterday are being pretty optimistic. She's five million years old - no one that age knows how to talk into a camera, plus we know she plays up the "fragile old woman" thing for sympathy and donations.
I think him collecting part of the check as rent was supposed to be meant as a way to teach Chris at least some financial responsibility, like how to pay bills and such.
A lot of parents do charge rent for kids living with them who have their own income (like teens who have a minimum wage job) especially if they're poor or working class. Bob was a retired and elderly geezer married to a redneck gold-digger with a tard son, both of whom were financially irresponsible to an insane degree.
IIRC, Bob only started charging Chris rent after he paid off all of Chris' credit card debt.
TLDR: Cole probably would be upset when Barb dies and come save Chris, or Chris's other brother David would even though he's mostly irrelevant. Also Chris's possible support structure of people nearby post-Barb might not be as small as people think.
Lol no. Cole doesn't give half a shit about Chris. Chris, to my knowledge, has never even met Carol, so she won't help. David might help him find tard housing or something like that, but it wouldn't surprise me if he doesn't; regardless, he certainly won't take him in or pay to support him or anything like that.
I'm not sure who's saying his potential nearby support network is small, since he'll almost certainly turn to Rocky and people like that before Barb's body is even cold for help with the funeral and stuff. Even though Chris is an apostate, people like that will still help him. I don't see anyone like that actually taking him in, but they'll probably try and help him find a place to live and other resources, and may give him a small amount of money.
In terms of housing, once 14BC is foreclosed on, since it's almost certainly going to be sold to satisfy Barb's debts, he'll have a little bit of time before the eviction process begins. If it weren't for his merge delusion destroying his credit score, he could have gotten a shitty little one bedroom apartment somewhere in Charlottesville, but that's unlikely now. An enabler/parasite like Copitz may give him a place to stay for awhile, but no one will be able to put up with him long term.
