An 87-year-old woman from Lemiers in Limburg who owned substantial real estate in nearby Vaals has left most of it to her tenants in her will.

According to the Telegraaf, Anneliese Houppermans, who earned her money from a successful fruit and vegetable business, owned several houses in the community. She never married or had children, and her ties to her family had faded over the years.

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.
