Long story short, my wife's aunt was in the hospital for 3 months on a ventilator and almost died numerous times due to Covid. Prior to her hospitalization, her entire Facebook feed was nothing but anti-science/horse medicine/racist nonsense for the past 2 years. Once she was admitted, she referred it to "taking a vacation" and that she would be home by Thanksgiving. She wasn't discharged until mid-February.

Their family is now asking for $50,000 to cover their expenses. My wife feels compelled to help, while I am much more hesitant considering the circumstances.

What would you do?

EDIT: To be clear, I'm obviously not going to forbid my wife to do what she wants, this is more of a hypothetical scenario based on a real event.

We all know how this is gonna end

This dopey cunt 

I'm woken by the missus. It's 03:24, Tuesday. She asks me if I heard the noise downstairs. Before I answer, another noise nullifies the question. That ain't the cat. That ain't the kid. Shit. That's an adult. In my house. They're coming for my baby. Run, quick, need to get across the hallway. Don't forget the [REDACTED] from the bedside draw. Gotta get the kid. Watch out for top of the stairs, everything else waits until kid. Wish I'd told wife to call the Po while I sort this, hope she's sussed it on her own. Did kid hear it? Thank FUCK the missus isn't shouting. There's kid. Thank fuck. Shout down stairs. Gauge reaction. Prepare for literal death before anyone gets to kid.....   

....SHIT. Realise that some twat on the 'net thinks that instead of my tall, muscular, and intimidating presence, I should've sent the missus to sort it. Guilt crashes into me overwhelming my every sense as I spin and spiral into an introversive crisis scrabbling for a safe handhold but then Elon has Twitter now and ohgodplease....

[GreatSageEqualOfHeaven]

To answer this properly you really have to go back to radical feminist discourse in the sixties and seventies, the differences between the conversations that were happening in Britain vs those happening in the States, and the extent to which the prominent voices in those conversations were then accepted into mainstream thought.

This isn't just an issue for trans women, but all non cis het white women. Feminism as a movement, and the mainstream understanding thereof, in the UK is significantly less intersectional than in the USA.

Meanwhile in the 'less intersectional' UK, abortion rights are unchallenged, both sex and sexual orientation are protected characteristics at a national level, and the average gender pay gap is significantly smaller than in the US.

He's G.

But I guess throwing the other letters in makes them feel more inclusive than they actually are.

The use of LGBTQIA2+ seems pretty funny when they're just announcing a gay dude, anyway...

Just like how you're literally trying to cut the G out to split up the community because "he's just g".

Uhh, kinda feel like whatever this take is could use more than one sentence to elaborate on what you mean.

Sometimes I feel like slitting my wrists in a hospital restroom so some stranger in need can get my organs. But I would never give a dime to a family member for their hospital bills, regardless of what their Covid beliefs are. Get your own money you greedy fucks.

[Uncle]

imagine it turns out you never filled out the proper paperwork to donate your organs, that would be so embarrassing

I should keep a bunch of notes in my wallet that say "I donate all my organs to those in need" so I can pin them to the shirts of dead people I come across, doing what I can to benefit others in at least some small way

Don't forget to state your 10-50 most important political beliefs on that note and demand that anyone benefitting from these organs agree 100% with every single one. What if your perceived kindness allowed some bad faith chud troll to live when they easily could have died?

Daily reminder how lucky I am living in the happiest country on the earth where safety and security are norm. Never feeling the need to own gun or thinking about scenarios where using one (to kill people) would be allowed. No officials recommending death as better solutions, as default is to help people in need. Providing assistance and support for lives to get back in track instead of ending them.

And people should get more dogs instead of guns, when they feel the need to improve home security.

I like his updates 

EDIT: Alright, this hot take needs elaboration - I feel that sometimes corporations include as many letters as they can while presenting a hot white cis masc gay dude to represent their progressive credentials. But all this does is prevent a sanitised take on queer communities that The Straights find palatable.

EDIT 2: Want to say I'm gay too and hope this doesn't come across as throwing the community under the bus, I just think sometimes corporations go with the easiest option when it comes to queer representation which is the JK Rowling method of "oh and he's gay" as an afterthought.

As a white cis gay man, it feels really gross to keep having to deal with this prevailing attitude in what should be accepting circles that I don't fucking count, or I'm automatically coasting on Easy Mode, and non cis people are the *REAL* LGBT+ community.

I’ve seen them arguing that lesbians don’t count as LGBT representation because they’re too accepted, so I guess that’s progress if gay guys have reached that level too.

I would donate $0.99 or whatever bare minimum is as long as its not set to $2+ (cause I want the message to be that I dont care more than $1)

And make it public + type "fuck around and find out" lol

If it's direct family members, like mother or siblings, yeah I'd chip in.

A side note, it's kinda funny how some people are still pissed off at others when they thank God when they overcome hurdles or stuff, I don't know, seems really petty to be upset over something like that 😅

My brother-in-law’s wife was probably the least crazy of my wife’s family. I suspect that she bought into the views but she was at least not vocal about them. Her husband, not so much. He’s just a walking, talking pile of stupid. Anyway, their whole family caught COVID, and she ended up dying from it. Shame, she was the only adult on her side of the family that I actually got along with.

My wife and I donated for some things like the funeral (not a ton, but some) - I think medical was mostly covered. They have three kids so even though the father is shitty, didn’t want to completely ruin their finances for the sake of the kids (and they live fine, but I would hesitate to say they rose to the level of even a lower-middle-class income)
