Genuinely a reasonable response and a reasonable set of actions.

If more people did this, the US would actually have worker's rights again.

It's not a reasonable response in a reasonable society. But our society is extremely sick.

An individual can get fed up and do something unreasonable that looks reasonable to those living in that sick society that see no other way to respond.

I am looking forward to the day that instead of a individual acting alone that we as workers realize our power together. I'm waiting for and working the day that, instead of burning a warehouse down, we as workers join together and arm ourselves and occupy warehouses until demands are met.

I don't know if acts like this brings us closer to that day or not. I hope so.
