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.
Actually it’s only a warehouse if it comes from the warehouse region of France. Anything else is just a “storage shed”
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!

peoplebots got mad at me.FTFY.

Yeah! Try it at a factory
Hypothetically, I really hope this happens. Hypothetically, like once a week for the next year.
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
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 🤔
So they run without insurance, lobby to mitigate their liability and the conditions of workplaces plummets.
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.
Warehouses can burn whether they have robots in them or not lmao
The ESG that the right deserves
Oh no how unfortunate.
Burn baby burn. Disco inferno! Burn baby burn!
If the cost of keeping humans is higher than the cost of automating, they’ll just automate the process. Or have the place ran by wire, where humans pilot lifts remotely.
There were only 8 people in that whole warehouse when it burned. It clear they already cut staff to an insanely low level. If they could have automated those 8 jobs away, they already would have.
Stop preemptively giving up your power by assuming you have none.
You can burn down an automated warehouse too.
“Hence the word…‘sabotage.’”
(Note: this probably isn’t true)
History is replete with turning points…
Honestly probably easier as there are less eyes. Just walk in with a clip board and say your from XYZ company and you have a contract to service the robots. If they seem hesitant at first, immediately get irate and say the contract is hourly and your technically already on the clock. In 98% of circumstances this will be your ticket in, if not try again on a different day of the week two weeks later.
Then just leave behind some incendiary devices as your “servicing the robots” and now not only did you burn the warehouse down, they also have no clue who you even are.
For 200 years, workers have been told that automation will make their lives better…
Ironically, arson is a felony and it’s unlikely that insurers cover such events that are due to criminal acts.
Insurers are likely not paying out anything.
What are you smoking? Insurance pays for damage caused by criminal activities
What? No. Arson usually covered on standard policies. Most likely what would happen in the scenario portrayed here is that insurance would go up and future insurance contracts would specifically exclude arson / vandalism.
New armchair expert topic just dropped
Yeah have someone burn down your house and then file an insurance claim.
See how that goes for you.
If you set a fire or otherwise intentionally cause your home to be burned down, then no insurance would not cover that. However in this case it is arson committed against the owner of the property, which is absolutely covered by insurance.
Am now millionaire, thanks for the advice
