A man set a 1.2-million-square-foot warehouse filled to the brim with toilet paper on fire in Ontario, California.

“All you had to do was pay us enough to live.”

    Uh, this about Ontario, California (near LA) not Ontario, Canada.

    Though I get the confusion - it’s abbreviated “Ontario, CA”

    What a hero

    He apparently caused around $200 million in damages.

      New goal: cause more damage than I’ll ever be able to possibly repay in my lifetime, ensuring that they take a loss they cannot recover from me.

        Exactly. Can’t pull blood from a stone.

        Luigi had ‘em signing off on thousands of medical procedures they never would have otherwise because they were literally scared for their lives.

        I guarantee you any one of the companies involved would’ve immediately traded that guy’s life for 200mil, and technically had been for years.

        A dozen or so more incidents like this and maybe they’ll start to ken why things like unions and protestors were ultimately the workers being polite.

        Insurance.

        Of course, their premiums go up.

        But if you find out who their insurance company is and provide documentation showing you can and will cause extremely costly damage before you do it, maybe you can get their policy cancelled

          Doesn’t matter if the money is coming from the company or the insurance. The point is, it’s more than can ever come from me.

    The Free Market at work. The company is lucky he decided to just burn the inventory, and not perform a Free Market correction on the entire board of directors.

        Anybody who is not initiated needs to get fucking initiated right now. Go watch Office Space. Actually go watch every Mike Judge-directed movie, but especially Office Space, Idiocracy, and Extract. They are very relevant to today’s society.

            They will just deny anything you, or an 80 year old elder try to claim. They will be fine. Fine scum that is.

    I’m not sure what this has to do with Canada. Though if someone wants to do that here as a copycat, then I guess it would be related.
