The warehouse doesn’t pay anybody, the warehouse holds supplies. The owners of the warehouse, who live in Texas, pay people and they’re incentivized not to change their ways because it’s still more profitable to pay low wages, as are the people who own the empty lot next. If anything the outcome of this is 1) less jobs and 2) rising prices under the guise of shortage.
You could in theory keep burning Kimberly Clark warehouses until they’re forced to liquidate the company and file bankruptcy, but at that point they will either be immediately replaced by another company perhaps worse, or you will simply make it impossible for mothers to obtain diapers for their children, which will among other repercussions have serious effects on public hygiene. Also, the boardmembers and CEO Michael Hsu are definitely walking away from it rich af.
