    No one was harmed and he got his point across. Keep up the good fight Americans, show them how much youre suffering under this regime and dont let the corporations/billionaires win

      Even comments-section of fox news was supporting it. Well, mainly calling it a fire-insurance scam, but I think conspiracy theories is how fascists express their love?

      No one was physically harmed, but there was financial harm. I wonder how many people lost their job due to the fire and now can’t pay their bills. The town only has 3k people, so I wonder how much of that population worked there.

        The hard working warehouse employees will be receiving unemployment. They just got several weeks of PTO.

        The demolition and reconstruction is new work that will be going on for the next few years.

        Oh no, think of the poor capitalists. They might get mad and stop giving us their crumbs!

        Get their meals, eat the rich!

        financial harm

        Ah, the type of harm that’s the easiest to manage. Can’t really blame this dude for the harm capitalism causes after the fact via suppression of basic social safety nets.

        The warehouse was burned down because they weren’t paid enough on the first place.

        Either someone with some foresight gets ahead of the problem and starts paying people enough to live, cancelling debts, etc., or there’s now ~1-200 more people with little left to lose and the fires will spread.

        I know solidarity is unheard of in the US, but this is something that often builds it out of necessity if nothing else.

        Corporate fire-insurance will cover their paycheck so what are you on about?

        Insurance will cover most of it. And there will be more jobs as things are cleaned up and rebuilt.
