Human society doesn’t exist where humans are priced out of society.
When your bathroom supply warehouse refuses to meet the societal needs of the people you hire to run it, your warehouse is a clear and present danger to the very concept of “society”.
Your exploitative warehouse is able to underbid responsible competitors, drive them out of business. To remain in business against you, they also have to adopt exploitative practices, and put pressure on other warehouses to do the same.
The solution to this downward spiral is surprisingly simple: remove your undue influence from the labor market, and circumstances improve for both your responsible competitors and society. Government can do that better, but arson will work in a pinch.
If people are going to resort to illegal methods of effecting needed change, warehouses are among the best targets available. Much lower risk of causing injuries or deaths than commercial or manufacturing sectors. Relatively few workers on site means the economic harm falls predominantly on the targeted owner class, with little spillover on the working class.
My imagination is rather poor; what would you suggest would be a better target?
This might be illegal, but it is NOT a method of effecting needed change. I’m not promoting Arson at all over organizing unions and promoting progressive reform, but if you’re going to burn something down at least target their financials and personal properties.
NO THEY DIDN’T THEY BURNT DOWN A WAREHOUSE FULL OF SUPPLIES WHICH BELONGED TO THE COMPANY. MICHAEL HSU IS GETTING PAID THE EXACT SAME AMOUNT AFTER THIS.
Not the third party staffing agency, not a bank, not his office, not his cars, none of that. A giant pile of diapers that people needed, that’s what.
Kimberly-Clark is a publicly traded company, owned primarily by various billionaires. Economic harm to the company is economic harm to the owners of that company.
This worker did do something to the billionaires. He attacked the source of their wealth.
Those diapers didn’t belong to the people. Those diapers belonged to the billionaires. You’re still not understanding that those were billionaire diapers.
Those diapers belong to nobody, now. We all have less access to diapers. I named so many examples and yet here you are refusing any course of action that minimizes harm done to common people. You don’t seem to care about billionaires you just want the people of the USA to hurt themselves.
There was no harm done to common people. Diapers are not a finite resource. The factories that produce them are still running. They just got new orders to fill. Diaper-factory workers just got new work.
Demolition crews just got new work. Construction crews just got new work. The workers in the factory just got unemployment benefits: paid time off of work, until they find new work. Firefighters just got overtime pay. Other warehouses in the region just got new work. Everyone except the billionaires and their insurers are benefitting from this.
Your argument only makes sense if the contents of that warehouse belonged to the people. If we were in a communist society, you’d have a point. But we aren’t.

Heres an idea:
Instead of burning necessary supplies,
Find a better fucking target.
It’s like I’m explaining to edgy teens that its better to talk to a girl than slit their wrists because they’re sad she never notices them.

Instead of throwing tea in the sea,
Find a better fucking target.
