    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.

      If you claim you don’t see how rising diaper costs hurts normal people I think you’re just coping hard.

        They aren’t rising. There is no shortage. The benefits to normal people far outweigh even your imagined harm.

        He burned down a warehouse, not a factory.
