I mean, the US has a huge culture of waiting for shit to happen before doing something about it. People don't take warning signs seriously.
It happens in buildings, it happens with electrical fire safety, it happens in healthcare (insurance and doctors largely don't believe in prevention in my experience).
- fosk 5y agoIt works like this everywhere in the world. Humans are...humans
- kube-system 5y agoYes, but the US also generally takes pretty swift action to make regulatory changes when disasters happen. Florida (and Miami-Dade County in particular) is known for their strict building code now, and I'm sure we'll see some additional changes as a result of this.
- dheera 5y agoI suppose, but people had to die for those changes to happen. They should have taken pictures of warning signs seriously. They should have had emergency forces onsite within hours of those pics getting to the bottom of what's going on, and evacuating the building.
