why do people burn their own businesses down sometimes?
<|assistant|>
Some people might burn their own businesses down to collect the insurance money or to start over with a clean slate. It may also be done out of desperation if they are unable to pay back debt or get back on their feet after financial difficulties. It is a form of economic suicide that is often considered a final act of desperation. In some cases, it can be seen as an act of protest or to draw attention to a particular issue. Additionally, the owner may view the business as a “failure” and want to start fresh somewhere else.
