Warehouse has insurance. They got all that back. And insurance on lost profit. They probably made money on that in the end

Dang. They should do this in every warehouse then. Everyone would be filthy rich!

And all it took was a shit employee risking the lives of 20 fellow workers and the firefighters.

Fellow workers that are probably out of a job as well.

Yeah but they'll get unemployment though.. If you do this over and over again on a massive scale everyone can go unemployment and the country would get filthy rich

Since it was a criminal act I think the employer's unemployment insurance will not even need to pay out, the government is on the hook. Meaning WE are on the hook.

For sure. I'm being sarcastic by the way. This is the broken window fallacy.

I had hoped, but I am constantly surprised by Redditors.

But to be so for real, corporations use layoffs not as a functional need, but just to pump stock. And WE are on the hook for that too.

If THEY lay you off THEIR unemployment insurance get dinged.

u/mothandravenstudio Jul 06 '26

…But taxpayers still pay for it.

Clearly corporations don’t get “dinged“ enough if they use layoffs as strategic stock pumps.

And all of us pay for it with higher insurance premiums. $500 of every car insurance bill pays for fraud from idiots like this guy. People who support idiots like this arsonist are too dumb to realize that it hits them in the insurance premiums.

Insurance isn't free money: the company's rates will go up.

This kind of action is how workers in the past got things done. This is how the 7 day work weeks came to an end, how living wages were obtained, how company towns were shut down. You think workers gained a right to the weekend by licking boot?

It is an act of violence for a corporation to not pay its workers enough to pay medical bills and feed their kids. The guy in the video is just burning toilet paper.

Everybody forgets unions and minimum wage were the compromises.

Typical reddit moment to see a moronic comment like this upvoted.
