I don’t give a hoot about the goods from a giant corporation. Take it all, and take the fixtures and equipment, too. Insurance will have to cover it, and another giant corporation will feel the effects, too.
Hands off Mom & Pop shops, they’re not the problem, they’re part of the solution.
The giant corporation…I think you need to re-read their comment. They don’t care about any losses for major corps (honestly a fully reasonable position) but condemned theft or destruction against businesses owned by regular people.
In this situation two major corps suffer loses, that’s a win for the common folk.
It’s actually a fairly stupid position because random theft helps the other side paint the side you presumably care about as criminals whilst others actually care about the issues.
The side that believes those things will view any protest that way if they didn’t already believe in the cause, no matter how peaceful it is. The sacks of shit looting really don’t move the needle on public opinion and as long as they stick to mega corps they are still the least of the problems.
Also the police everywhere on the planet routinely will infiltrate protests and start shit like this to do exactly what you have described, there truly is no way to have a meaningful protest without things getting ugly.
And finally…why must everything that ever occurs during a protest be blamed on the protesters and the cause? Why are any looters automatically assumed to be part of it and not just opportunistic pieces of shit or even straight up agitators and saboteurs?
You are part of the problem here, whether you realize it or intend for it.
The giant corporations love this. Majority of these shops will go under and big business can scoop up these properties for cheap. Looting is trashy and makes the common folk want more security.
… you mean like how periods of unrest like this almost always result in a reactionary power grab? You either overthrow the government or it happens without fail.
Actual people rarely use the same insurance companies that the major corps use, sure some genuine small businesses will get mixed up in it but majority of them are with the small time insurance companies.
For the most part it will only affect the regular people if the government provides subsidies and bailouts to the insurance company, which is a practice that needs to end or at least come with the caveat of forced removal and investigation of all leadership positions from board to CEO to management as well as turning the company over to the employees.

Who do you think pays for the insurance?
You think they just give it away for free?

Lmao open a history book

History? I prefer Herstory.
It’s always funny reading bad economics, it almost always seems to boil down to: someone else will pay
You’re going to be so surprised when you find out who pays for the insurance in the end

that’s right, it’s the people!
If the cost of insurance goes up, the input cost to the business goes up and that gets passed on to the consumer
Good, it gives small businesses a chance to compete. The people can support local instead.
Do local businesses not need insurance? and have you seen any signs the french looters are differentiating between local and big businesses?

We covered those points already in this conversation/thread. Get some new propaganda, the old shit ain’t working as well to quell the dissent.
