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.

I've never seen a fire inspector in any building I've worked in. Twenty five years on the job and it's never happened.

And I've personally witnessed the fire marshal annually inspect my last 3 jobs. I may not have been present for the inspections at other jobs.
