THE PEOPLE DEFENDING THE LOOTERS HAVE NEVER BUILT ANYTHING WORTHWHILE, SO OF COURSE THEY SIDE WITH THE DESTROYERS. Seen on Facebook:

Destroying a small business is akin to destroying an artist’s studio, a scholar’s library, or a chef’s kitchen. It is not just a matter of the loss of material goods, and insurance isn’t the point. It’s a loss of the space in which they make meaning in their lives and for others, and in which their life projects are pursued.

It is primarily the critics, and not the defenders, of markets who can only see economic activity in material terms, and that is one of their great failings.

Not their greatest, though.
