The reason I wasn't interested in this earthquake, was that it was a 'Corruption Earthquake'. That's when they make buildings like beach sand castles, and very low ground shaking comes along. The lower the ground shaking, amid collapse, the greater the corruption.
Corruption is associated with the lack of transparency, and I find the authorities there take no flak from people. I can't get any records. Even in Guatemala they take earthquakes seriously and put in a lot of steel in their buildings.
The standard approach is to enact building codes, but they are useless, if not applied. In these cases, I think consumer choice is important with transparency. Would you pay more in rent, live with less room, or move out a bit, to have less chance of being killed? How much? Once a building is up, no authority can come along and say "This is a death trap!'. They would get shot, and there is no 'concrete' proof.
Obviously, you as people, should fight for 'less chance of death'. However, this is a leftie thing, and therefore, totally useless. You have to change the fundamentals, and use the Scientific Method, and physics for that. Do not rely on influencers of any stripe.
- whoops, have to run. Don't see any more coffees tinkling the tip jar. Am I greedy?
