How does pointing out that this asshole cost his co-workers their jobs make me a "collaborator?" And this doesn't count the other jobs lost from suppliers, big and small, in the community.

His co-workers COULD have done those things, but once he burned down the place, their jobs are permanently gone. The warehouse was owned by a 3rd party, so this is an opportunity for Kimberly -Clark to get rid of the hub-and-spoke distribution model, and drop-ship to their largest customers, so those warehouse jobs are gone forever. Any future warehouses will be much smaller, and may even be "dark", only requiring a couple of rent-a-cops and one afternoon a week for scheduled inspection and maintenance.

But the asshole who set the fire doesn't have to worry about a job for at least 5 years. He's got his, selfish bastard.

this is just a toilet paper fire. literally shit tickets. just stuff. not working class people.

Let's do this. I can get behind this.

@FranceskaMann @QasimRashid

I'm well aware of Amazon's anti-union tactics. One warehouse here unionized, they closed them all down. That doesn't mean that unions aren't viable - just that stronger legislation is needed to level the playing field.

In other words, change politicians.

I proposed constructive solutions. Union action wouldn't have left his co-workers and their families out on the street.

And sharing expenses with ONE (not 7) other person is what plenty of working families do.

Ask his now-unemployed co-workers how they feel about him. Good thing he's in jail - they'd probably beat the crap out of him because unlike him, who gets all his housing a And medical covered for the next 5-10 years, they're jobless and facing being out on the street and no medical.

If they were precarious before, they're facing destitution now. Why not spare a thought for them instead of white-knighting this asshole?

Don't put words in my mouth.

I have 3 courses of active n which are legal, honourable, and don't result in their co-workers losing their jobs:

1. Union action;
2. Change jobs to a lower-cost area. Plenty of workers won't take a job in SillyValley because, even with a 6-figure income, they would have a lower standard of living than making half as much elsewhere;
3. Finding someone else to share expenses with.

So instead the asshole put all his co-workers out on the street. I'm sure they just LOVE him for that.

But HE has no problem - he'll get free room and board and medical care, he's got his, Fuck his co-workers.

How does it feel to be part of the problem, Barbra?

they are a legend and a hero, whether you acknowledge that or not. All she had to do was pay her workers a living wage. Billions in profit. Whose side are you on?

you're not endorsing it. But until billionaires fear us, they will hurt us. A little fear goes a long way toward a living wage.

The economic argument in the video is bs.

First, two people at that stage would have a comfortable living, so if you're single, double up with someone else. Two income households is the norm nowadays.

Second, if you can't make a living there on your wage, either change jobs or move somewhere cheaper - you've got the whole country.

Third, no union? Form a union. Union is ineffective? Work to change it.

People pull up stakes all the time. Just burning down the place is cowardly.

I used to maintain fire suppression systems at large facilities and they are designed by insurance engineers to be very difficult to defeat even by those who are very experienced. There's a LOT of redundancy with the mechanical and supervisory systems and I believe only an inside job can effectually defeat them.

That being said, I have worked a fire from a contractor and seen the damage it can do. Smoke damage can wipe out countless millions of dollars in inventory in the 30 seconds it takes to put the fire out. Bad contactors can do even more damage quickly.

they’re fucking us

fuck em anyway u can
