MArch: Geez. I keep seeing headlines about that building collapse in Florida. It seems so third world; full of dangerous bribery and poor construction.
It is really fucked up it is happening in the United States. Of all the places this kind of dangerous bullshit could have happened?
Florida, of course!
All of the buildings inspected by the Building Official have got to be tested now. Someone is/was crooked as fuck, and the only problem is that it was in the 1980s.
I wonder if that evil person is still alive and living in the United States...
b1-66er: It's very strange.
I stayed away from sending it to you because I knew it would be part of a much larger discussion at some point.
It feels very very Bangladesh•
MA: It's the WORST.
b1: It's the darkest side of the capitalism die.
MA: I'm not sure Bangladesh is low enough on the Baksheesh-for-Building-Inspection scale.
It's lower than the third world because "we" don't operate according to those rules.
People are still missing. It's heartbreaking.
b1: They have a weird law in Bangladesh where property tax isn't assessed until a building is finished... So the tops of all their buildings are incomplete.
MA: Somewhere we traveled together had that rule.
b1: What a surprise to be IN that mofo when it started to come down!
You'd have NO IDEA what happened.
MA: It would be hideous. I imagine that ALL structural integrity will be lost. So... all your belongings go down when they implode it.
And...there are other buildings by the same developer.
b1: Oh GEEZ!
MA: It's a mess.
