    I… uh… unfortunately, I’m gonna go with the billion dollar company.

    Insurance will cover most of the damage, the dude will end up in prison, and at most the worst that the company will suffer is higher premiums.

      I am hoping insurance will do all it can to deny and even then charge more moving forward.

      Alternatively, the company heads will get scared knowing their house is flammable too.

        Personally I’d never want to burn down someone’s house. If I found out afterwards they had a pet, I’d have something to feel bad about.

          I have seen this repeatedly, and while I understand that it would be sad, what is more valuable: 1-3 pets, or all the humans that will have their lives destroyed by the fuck you set fire to?

          Did you forget why we were here? Liberation isn’t free. Dead animals are very sad. I get it. A dead ecosystem includes many dead animals. Like, MANY.

            This is a concept that a lot of people struggle with. They lose sight of the bigger picture and simply react to what’s right in front of them.

            This is why having class consciousness is important. It puts everything into perspective.

      The higher premiums will cost the company almost as much as the arson. Insurance just spreads out financial risk over time; it’s still a net loss for the insured.
