Uh, this about Ontario, California (near LA) not Ontario, Canada.

Though I get the confusion - it's abbreviated "Ontario, CA"

[-] eightys3v3n@lemmy.ca 7 points 8 hours ago

Aaawww. And here I though some Canadian's had finally had enough shit.

What a hero

He apparently caused around $200 million in damages.

[-] ramble81@lemmy.zip 26 points 9 hours ago

New goal: cause more damage than I’ll ever be able to possibly repay in my lifetime, ensuring that they take a loss they cannot recover from me.

[-] canthangmightstain@lemmy.today 23 points 9 hours ago

Exactly. Can’t pull blood from a stone.

Luigi had ‘em signing off on thousands of medical procedures they never would have otherwise because they were literally scared for their lives.

I guarantee you any one of the companies involved would’ve immediately traded that guy’s life for 200mil, and technically had been for years.

A dozen or so more incidents like this and maybe they’ll start to ken why things like unions and protestors were ultimately the workers being polite.

Insurance.

Of course, their premiums go up.

But if you find out who their insurance company is and provide documentation showing you can and will cause extremely costly damage before you do it, maybe you can get their policy cancelled

[-] ramble81@lemmy.zip 5 points 8 hours ago

Doesn’t matter if the money is coming from the company or the insurance. The point is, it’s more than can ever come from me.

[-] Rivalarrival@lemmy.today 2 points 8 hours ago

Who insures the insurers?

[-] Mac@mander.xyz 2 points 9 hours ago

What's their insurance cover?

[-] Witchfire@lemmy.world 9 points 8 hours ago* (last edited 8 hours ago)

This was in Ontario, California if I'm not mistaken

Edit: Yup

[-] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 9 points 9 hours ago

The Free Market at work. The company is lucky he decided to just burn the inventory, and not perform a Free Market correction on the entire board of directors.

[-] LodeMike@lemmy.today 17 points 12 hours ago

Yeah,.. if you could go ahead and not burn the wearhouse down, that'd be great.

Anybody who is not initiated needs to get fucking initiated right now. Go watch Office Space. Actually go watch every Mike Judge-directed movie, but especially Office Space, Idiocracy, and Extract. They are very relevant to today's society.

[-] Canconda@lemmy.ca 9 points 11 hours ago

Extract

I know what movie I'm watching this weekend.

[-] bran_buckler@lemmy.world 1 points 10 hours ago

To be fair, they are both Ontario, CA.

[-] BC_viper@lemmy.world 49 points 13 hours ago

Guess they should have paid him.

[-] shittydwarf@sh.itjust.works 21 points 13 hours ago

Would have been a lot cheaper

[-] Mac@mander.xyz 1 points 9 hours ago

The company will have insurance.

[-] ChicoSuave@lemmy.world 2 points 8 hours ago

Would be cheaper for the insurance company

[-] BC_viper@lemmy.world 1 points 8 hours ago

They will just deny anything you, or an 80 year old elder try to claim. They will be fine. Fine scum that is.

[-] umbrella@lemmy.ml 5 points 8 hours ago

i wonder what will happen to fire luigi

[-] davidagain@lemmy.world 4 points 8 hours ago

Unionization would have been cheaper for the company.

Nature is healing «3

[-] drewaustin@piefed.ca 13 points 13 hours ago

I’m not sure what this has to do with Canada. Though if someone wants to do that here as a copycat, then I guess it would be related.

[-] RainbowBlite@piefed.ca 28 points 13 hours ago

Someone mistook Ontario California for Ontario Canada.

[-] Canconda@lemmy.ca 18 points 12 hours ago
[-] bran_buckler@lemmy.world 11 points 10 hours ago

To be fair, they are both Ontario, CA.

[-] UninvestedCuriosity@lemmy.world 3 points 10 hours ago

Some of us are with them in spirit.

[-] HikingVet@lemmy.ca 7 points 13 hours ago

The town in California that the warehouse was in is called Ontario. I mean people here might not be at burn the place down disgruntled, buuuuut I can't imagine there isn't at least one underpaid person ready up here.

[-] SaveTheTuaHawk@lemmy.ca 1 points 10 hours ago

It was Kimberly Clark.

[-] BaraCoded@literature.cafe 2 points 9 hours ago

[SaintLuigi.jpg]

[-] Drusas@fedia.io 4 points 11 hours ago

I'd say "fair", but you know that company has insurance. It does send a good message, though.

[-] Canconda@lemmy.ca 4 points 11 hours ago

The beacons are lit!

[-] NigelFrobisher@aussie.zone 2 points 10 hours ago
[-] Nomorereddit@lemmy.today 1 points 9 hours ago

To be fair how much were they making?

[-] bdonvr@thelemmy.club 3 points 9 hours ago

Not enough to live

[-] Maeve@kbin.earth 3 points 12 hours ago

Alex Montero, who claims to have met Abdulkarim at the warehouse, said he had obtained screen recordings of the videos through a mutual friend.

Alex Montero deserves to be shunned.

[-] LodeMike@lemmy.today 2 points 12 hours ago

It's interesting the walls stayed. My brain tricked me into thinking the smoldering bits were 15 feet below 0
