    Is this really just stochastic?

    • this new warehouse fire in NYC

    or

      Probably copycats; some people out there would really like to burn down a warehouse, but haven’t ever thought of it before, then hear about it in the news and their eyes light up.

      Decaying material conditions are why we’ve got “some people out there would really like to burn down a warehouse” as a base state, of course.

      twisted firebugs wake up every 17 years.

      insurance claims or workers getting fed up with getting rate-limited by robot arms. how is it psyops, to what end? better screening of workers? they are already stripped naked and prodded by bracelets. and warehousing rotate through workforce as percentages of population, so it won’t be better.**

      maybe a scheme of sf6 fire suppression systems, to just kill a lot of people in an accident.

      i honestly suspect if this persists for a low dozens of warehouses in quick succession, mr. congress will pass fair wages for logistics workers act so quickly it will make afl-cia/dsa head spin, because there is no alternative (lmayo) to this, you can’t suppress them more nor can you replace everybody immediately, they already are replaced by churn, and treats are backbone of treatler empire, losing billions is not worth it compared to hiring 50% more people

      *which is why rail workers folding was so idiotic, three “accidental” train derailments in quick succession would have worked wonders for them, and derailing thingy costs 150 bucks to make, just jump out of train before

      **not to mention, finding accelerants inside warehouse is so trivial it’s not even funny. you have to implement standard safety protocols across millions of items, paints, camping gear, solvents, sanitizers, shittily made furniture, different hobby materials, car oils

      I think it honestly just is organic. Events inspire other events, especially of similar types, and as things continue to get worse, violence is going to become increasingly common.

      Put me on the anti-lathe pls:

      With everything going on, the Trump admin are going to do their best to control the narrative around their humiliation (futile, but it’s all they have at this point, minimize damage and control the narrative). One way that’ll happen is to move on to the next “story” (something they were going to do anyway). “Regime change Cuba” is one lever they could pull.

      “Villanize the Left” is another option. Once again, these are both happening anyway, and there are options beyond these as well. Could see it backfiring and boosting the popularity of the Left, they are looking pretty incompetent these days, and it would be funny …and post!

    Seems like these warehouses have a serious lack of fire suppression systems.

      In America, the default fire suppression system is suppressing fire. The warehouse workers fired hundreds of rounds into the blaze, but to no avail.

      In America one does not have a fire suppression system, only a suppressive fire system.

        Yes, the workers are the sperm cells

    That link was the most cryptically and very purposefully, it seems, hiding of the most basic details in journalism.

    Is barely two paragraphs and doesn’t even mention what kind of warehouse it is, or even offer speculation of what happened or venture to talk to people in the area.

    We’ve seen this aplenty by corporate media: immediately go in to coverup mode bc the CEO too brass don’t wan them proles getting any more ideas. Such as going to their golf courses, country clubs and vacation homes and torching them too.
