I’ve said that on Reddit and people got mad at me.
A single warehouse burning because of low wages is like a single healthcare CEO getting shot: Funny to read about, but ultimately not going to change much.
Turn it into a monthly thing, and it becomes a revolutionary act that will change things!

FTFY.
Remember, kids: don't try this at home!
Yeah! Try it at a factory
It's like the best way to prevent police brutality and murder: simply make them individually liable for damages and require them to carry insurance for it. Bad actions make you uninsurable, and the rest of your department more risky (expensive).
Ironically the reason we have this problem is because the armed guards of capital are one of the only jobs that still have strong unions.
Union is underselling their mafia racket.
Unions were the compromise between violence against the capital from the working class.
Every few generations everyone seems to forget the existing social contracts exist for reason, and that reason is never the benevolence of the plutocrats.
Too bad companies spent decades demoting and crushing them. Paid money for it, even.
The same Pinkertons that were hired over a century ago to bust unions, are still around today for a reason.
Actually it's only a warehouse if it comes from the warehouse region of France. Anything else is just a "storage shed"
sparkling storage shed
you'd be replaced with robots even sooner
I it seriously got to that point those robots would have to be fireproof.

Wooden shoes are so uncomfortable though
Toss em in something with gears to make them more comfortable.
Not a modern problem. Not a modern solution. Fuck Dave Chappelle.
That's right, kids: try it at work!
Hypothetically, I really hope this happens. Hypothetically, like once a week for the next year.
I'm not a lawyer, but this sounds perfectly feasible to me. So insurance companies simply choose to not treat low wages as a risk factor. I wonder why 🤔
Finally, a sensible market solution /s
Right. A more likely one is that having staff in a building at all are a liability and so all these warehouses are moving to robots. There will be an oversaturation of warehouse workers vs sites still using them, and so these fires are just going to bring wages lower.
If they used to be houses, then they are were-houses.
If it used to be a house, then it's a was-house.
Usually what the owner class does is push for tougher laws instead
So they run without insurance, lobby to mitigate their liability and the conditions of workplaces plummets.
The ESG that the right deserves
Oh no how unfortunate.
Burn baby burn. Disco inferno! Burn baby burn!
