Ok imma break this down. People claiming "businesses are insured" are straight up dumbasses. Small businesses have insurance for.employees or incase someone is injured ONLY. in cases of looting businesses that ARE onsured have to have a listing of what was burned/damaged before
Their insurance pays out. And where is that kept? In a file cabinet or computer ON SITE. so it gets burned too. Or destroyed. And insurance companies only pay out for a percentage of what was taken IF you have proof it was taken and what it was worth. NOT WHAT YOU PAID FOR IT.
So imagine a small business owner in these looted areas. Their stock? Gone. Their business? Gone. The proof of what they had sunk into said Business and products? Also gone. Small businesses often only take stuff to their accountants every quarter. So if you handnt taken it in?
Write it all off. All the employees that depended on you for their salary? Unemployeed. Then the employees have to apply flr Unemployment. That takes A WHILE. Rent aint gonna wait. Your kids eating? That aint gonna wait. The local grocery you depended on for food? Gone too.
The big box store tho. Yeah. They get their money back. But that money wont help the employees that looters just put out of work. That wont go to feed former employees kids. It goes back to the main company, and they wont likely bother to.rebuild and rehire old employees. At all.
So. These looters and "protestors" are singlehandedly responsible for the complete break down of entire family finances in their areas. They are responsible for these parents and kids going hungry, getting kicked out of their homes for nonpayment. They gonna support them? No.
So.shut the fuck up with the "looting is our right! They took advantage of us with prices!!" Bs. You are putting people in the poor house. You are taking food from their kids mouths. I hope to fuck that these people get caught and have to apologize to the victims of theirs.
But we all know it wont ever happen.
