Ah yes, that definitely makes sense and completely justifies adding $124m to the police budget

Why do we need 500 more officers, this is obscene

I work too much to be this broke

No fire suppression in a warehouse or any commercial building = illegal

Lfgggggg

$650 million down the tubes

Unless you’re Kimberly Clark, lol, who had no working fire suppression systems in their Ontario warehouse, apparently, and therefore insurance may not reimburse

🤣🤣🙏🙏

Very much “spray and pray” vibes lol

Yup, my inclination as I mentioned earlier is this is a case of “people are paying attention for once to a somewhat commonplace event” and assigning their own bias to it

My mom makes multiple pots of coffee all day, and that shit is nuclear

Idk how she does it

Coffee after 2pm kills me at this point

But hey, the homework got done

I also saw the other side of 3am for the first time in awhile so…lol

Folks are mad, the contradictions are heightening, as they say

To be clear: I am not in the camp that believes we are seeing some sort of revolutionary uptick in arson-as-direct-action beyond the Ontario fire and Altman/Tesla getting targeted

I do find it interesting that general discontent on socials = ppl are looking for a sign that smthg is happening

Update: night coffee was a bad idea lmao

Missed that one lmao

The doom shift

Could also be a case of “suddenly people are paying attention”

I haven’t picked through it so i can’t tell you with certainty how many of these fires were accidents vs arsons, but there’s a pretty intense group of folks who are convinced this is a sign of rising discontent in the country (which is obvs true but I’m fascinated by these fires being the indicator)

Well here’s something interesting:

Someone put together a “warehouse fire tracker” to keep up on all the recent reports of major warehouse fires that have happened in the US. Do with this data what you will

warehousefire.watch

How many times are they gonna dump him in the hospital for the sake of the plot is what I wanna know

Am I fucking around on the internet ~2 hours before deadline? No, why do you ask

Honestly man, this is A+ casting
