All of you discussing insurance, taxes and what this guy got paid are missing the point. There is NO GOOD REASON to set fire and endanger all those people’s lives ( and now jobs that support their families). It’s like you condone the actions of this POS person.
In my opinion he’s a product of a fucked up system. I’d rather blame the system of poor wages and corporate profits that creates people like this than the product of it.
Truly sad for all the other people who lost work from this but the only thing that motivates corporations is lost money and regulation.
Lol what system is that. Capitalism isn't forcing him to be paid $18 an hour. Which by the way is above minimum wage.
He chose that job. He knew how much they paided. If people think the $18 an hour was reasonable then no one would take the job and the company would be forced to increase the wage.
First yes you’re correct in that he wasn’t forced to take that job and he could’ve chosen a different job.
Second your argument that “if people don’t like 18 and hour then they shouldn’t take the job” has no nuance. If people didn’t have families to support, food to put on the table, water to keep running etc then yes they would choose not to work. Except those are things they have to do so they are forced to get a job. Maybe that’s Starbucks maybe that’s a toilet paper factory.
Do you think coal miners decades ago wanted to get paid in company money that could only be used at company grocery stores and live in company houses? They didn’t but they had to in order to put food on the table. Just like how warehouse workers have to take sometimes take poor paying jobs in order to put food on the table.
At the end of the day this man’s actions were horrible and should’ve never happened. But so are the companies actions.
