Man if I'm moving my parked car to avoid rising waters, I'm not re parking. I'm out of there.

I'm sure most people did the same thing.

The ones who were too loyal to the company died.

In the article and the after statement from the company it seems that a lot of employees left earlier but the ones that stayed were non native English speaking immigrants that paid with their lives to be cheap labor and are being represented by a refugee and immigration group in the area for their deaths.

So not loyal but those trapped to the company that held power over them. As you would expect of people that need the job to stay and allows for the company to have absolute power over their workers like they want.

So slaves with extra steps.

Yeah. I mean people that are excellent workers cause they are cheap. Can be told to pay their own way to training themselves and will do it because they are desperate. Able to be deported to a country where they won't have have any legal discourse for any reason so they won't complain and take what they can get, or else lose their money, the cost of paying to get here and potentially their family.

So, yeah I mean. No wonder anyone with a business loves them.
