Who owns this shoe store quote

Are we expected to believe that the son performed some kind of woke check before looting the place?

Also "Have you heard anything that implies that this shoe store doesn’t have insurance that will allow it to recover" ... congratulations, your son just made that insurance more expensive. When's the bit where your son pays for the costs he has wilfully inflicted upon others?

Fundamentally, though, it's racist reasoning. A white person did something unjustified to a black person, therefore all black people get to do whatever they like to any white person.

They're desperate to avoid conceding that actions have consequences, for fear of being held to account for their behaviour.

They are much akin to soldiers of a certain mid-20th-century warring nation, repeating to themselves "I'm just following orders, just following orders. Nothing I do is my fault, it's all the fault of the people giving me orders."

Insurance is like gambling at the casino, the house dictates the rules and they're designed that the house always comes out ahead overall.

That one store may not pay for everything immediately. But everything will be paid for by the stores in the end.

The best part is that this also actively helps big corporations to destroy small businesses because the corporations can afford to pay the premiums in the moment but not all small businesses can. Eventually after the competition is dead, quasi monopolistic market will reap all the benefits.

Both the lockdown and the looting hurt small businesses and helped large corporations.

Makes you wonder.

They don't even understand what money is, they think it's a commodity. How on Earth can we expect them to understand the concept of insurance when they are that economically illiterate.

If you think money is a commodity, and value is objective, then your concept of insurance must be fucking hilariously retarded.
