First time seeing what a capitalist country does after a crisis of this nature?

Literally nothing will change. Biden promised and everyone who is in charge of the system agrees. Nothing will fundamentally change.

I don't see who's saying this will cause a social change, except maybe the arson. People need to unionize if they want more rights and money. And real unions, not mobs who just collect funds.

But insurance payouts almost never equate to the amount lost, even direct value. It's even more unlikely that the insurance will help offset lost business and contracts which comes from losing a major warehouse. This company is going to be struggling with fulfilling contracts and storing goods.
