    Reality: the burning down warehouses redirects security from union busting to looking for arsonists. And the calculus is sometimes: pay more for security, or just pay workers more.

      There is no money spent on security for union busting in California. California has strict laws against violent union busting.

          Not if they get penalized for it more than they benefit from breaking the law, and California is strict about enforcing labor laws.

          Look man, in addition to being counterproductive, the actions you’re defending have a lot of collateral damage. It’s similar to Israel saying that they should be able to bomb Gaza to get terrorists even though the bombings also affect children, which is another example of an action that is both counterproductive and has a lot of collateral damage.
