Comment on Grandma is on her own
Dasus@lemmy.world 6 hours agoLiterally just buried my grandma this year and dad a few years ago.
Here… In FINLAND. Where the laws of the United States of America do NOT apply.
Yes, it refers to taking care of your parents. Ie for instance being responsible for them, fiscally. For instance, having responsibility over the debt they’ve accumulated to the state.
When someone dies they and theyre declares insolvent, you imagine it just applies to all fiscal responsibility of that person.
It doesn’t. The filial responsibility laws exempt that debt to the state from being able to be dissolved through insolvency.
And tbh, that guy with his own face and own name, despite being it being a bit from standup, is more credible than you are.

Well, I can tell you that comedian is just making up a funny story and that’s not how it works in real life. You absolutely would not be responsible for paying your own child support, that is ridiculous.
Dasus@lemmy.world 6 hours ago
And you’re still not as credible.
I’ve read insane things like that from the stated, from credible sources.
You know for a fact it didn’t happen?
Finland doesn’t have filial responsibility laws.

You don’t seem to understand what I’ve explained to you about insolvency and debt. Guess you’re just one of those “I can’t be wrong” people.

Honestly dude, I don’t give a shit what someone from Finland thinks about filial responsibility laws in the United States. You’re basing your opinions on a Wikipedia article and a standup segment, get the fuck out.

Why would it matter where I’m from?
Facts are facts. Or are you saying that you’re allowed to just say “nuh-uh, facts don’t matter, I’m American and thus I’m right about everything remotely American”?
Because… that’s quite childish.
How about you actually try reading my replies to you, with thought? Do you think you’re capable of that? Eh, I’ll simplify, just to be safe.
USUALLY, when a person dies and they don’t have enough funds to pay off everything, the debts are dissolved. That’s how it works in the civilised world.
In the US, the bastion of capitalism, however, some debts aren’t dissolve despite insolvency because these American filial responsibility laws make it so certain debt, like medical debt or not having paid child support, isn’t dissolved.

Line I said I assume you already know how little you know about this subject and instead of gracefully bowing out you’re going all in. Then you’ll get personal while absolutely not being able to address the actual subject, which you’re clearly wrong about. Then you’ll devolve into one word replies like “k” or something and then in a few weeks when the thread is hundreds of replies deep, you’ll just give up and make a new account because of your post history.
So perhaps let’s just skip all that and you just say “ye, right, my bad. TIL, thanks”?
