What impact would a nationwide guerilla campaign of vandalism against say, Berkshire do?

[–] Olgratin_Magmatoe@slrpnk.net 20 points 2 years ago

I think we need more than vandalism. But it couldn't hurt. Where's Mario?

Why stop at Berkshire? Vandalize any home that sits vacant. We have more vacant homes than homeless in America. We just need to make vacant homes too big of a risk

No no no open the house to people that need to crash with a roof over their head. Squatting is the answer. Maybe eve some destructive squatting.

[–] ashenone@lemmy.ml 7 points 2 years ago (1 children)

That's definitely a more productive solution

“Productive destructive squatting” sounds like a euphemism for part of my morning routine

Sounds like a convenient excuse to make everything a rental, or to just tear down all vacant homes.

You can't expect these people to sit by an issue they can toss money at to make better for them.

everything they own is insured and you would be doing them a favor if they could collect on the insurance money instead of holding onto the assets.

Insurance will start dropping them fast if it really catches on. A few wouldn’t affect anything. But hundreds?

anytime an insurance company withdraws from an arena; they pay out to their biggest policy holders anyways and blackrock has to be the biggest.

Probably not. At their level it's probably self insured, so they lose the money.

[–] eldavi@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 years ago

Someone will lose money, but it won't be blackrock
