if you are serious, no, she is paying the caretaker she rented so she could go out momentarily. That's her sick mother.

I think the extra comic is trying to stress who the real loser is, and its not the woman whose taking care of her elder mother.

a few very rich people have recently been able to see earth from near space... and they're the meanest assholes humanity have ever encountered.

While I agree that they are terrible people, they aren't even close to humanity's meanest.

"If everyone could see it"

Proceeds to show an alternate future where having seen it is apparently a status symbol, which implies that not everyone is able to see it

I guess the artist just wanted to make a "haha rich people bad" joke, but surely there are other ways to make the same joke without completely ignoring the hypothetical scenario you described literally one panel before?
