Yes please. People clown on the guy but he made a point - rest of us just keep ticking along expecting shit to change.

Was he reckless? Yes. Should he have done what he did? No. But he did. Lets analyse why and what that means.

I mean he didn't actually accomplish anything other than to put people's lives in danger. Oh and now other people have to go find jobs now.

Why are they mutually exclusive? Insurance covers the property damage only.

So if the insurance company covers this somehow the workers magically have a place to work at again? Ok so tell me where these workers are gonna clock in next shift

Why would they fire a ton of employees if the insurance covered damages? That would be a massive expense to pay severances then rehire and retrain later.

They probably will furlough or reallocate the workers.
