Country that has never once given a shit about fire codes suddenly discovers an excuse to arbitrarily emiserate dozens of people.

I'd love to talk shit about the current administration too, but I've been in buildings where fire inspectors would cut off the power cords of any space heaters they found because they violated code.

The people who hire the fire inspectors don't actually care, but the fire inspectors do. Probably because they've smelled far more charred human flesh than anyone should.
