The "people are generally decent but the system is not" timeline.
Generally decent? I understand that someone can say "ooh she could've just gave it to her family to keep generational wealth" but she held housing for ransom for decades until her literal dying breath. I wonder what kind of life was afforded to her through her "substantial real estate." This is orphan crushing machine at its best
Do you think it encourages people to be kind when they do something charitable and get told "Yeah, no, fuck you still"?
I'm not going to praise a landlord or a slaver for their deathbed generosity, even if it does technically make them better than the alternative.
Do you think she would have done the same thing if she had had children or close family?
This would have been a good story if she recognized what she was doing while she was alive and willingly stopped feeding the system. As it is it cost her nothing while alive and therefore gains her corpse nothing.
You dont know why she didn't have children
