    I swear there was one guy who predicted this in a post here like right after the fire happened. He even said it sounded crazy/conspiratorial and here we are.

      I remember that and thinking he was probably right but hoped maybe something good would happen. That was foolish clearly

      I mean, I don’t think the fire was set for this purpose, but this is exactly what a capitalist does in a situation like this.

      It’s not conspiratorial to recognize how profiteers will see a tragedy as an opportunity.

      Reminds me of the one time I came home with the book “Shock Doctrine” and my lolbertarian roommate loled and called it a conspiracy theory.
