Another horrific example of how corruption and capitalist negligence put profit over people’s lives. The state arrests a few scapegoats, but nothing will change as long as these systems of power and greed remain in place.
This is exactly why strong regulations and strict enforcement are essential—greedy businesses and corrupt officials put profits over people's lives, and now an entire community is paying the price.
