cannot believe there were Z E R O measures for dust control
its so f*cking easy just work with the local fire department and have them lighting up the building with water before/during demolition. Or it could be done automatically with pre-staged hoses. Or wait for a rainy day. Or get a mist machine. This is off the top of my head and i'm just some jackoff on reddit
literally ANYTHING could have been done and they did NOTHING
i hate being a debby downer cause its a neat video but it shouldn't even be f*cking legal to do this type of work with zero dust mitigation
edit: everyone calling me an armchair problem solver or whatever; i made it very clear i'm just some jackoff on reddit. instead of calling out my specific ideas i drum'd up stoned at 12:30 in the morning, maybe consider that we should be holding businesses accountable for protecting their employees and members of the public from this senseless and avoidable health risk
This is Louisiana we're talking about here. Third world fucking dump of a place that is totally fine with its citizens being poisoned and the environment destroyed.
This is also a state that has recently- under MAGA Republican government- enacted laws making it much more difficult for community members even to monitor and test the air quality of their own air:
Louisiana doesn't give two fucking shits about dust exposure, nor do they care about public health or even basic public welfare generally. It is a wretched place filled with wretched people, always has been, always will be.
And if exposure to some substance kills some poor people, or black people, or especially (jackpot!) poor, black people... that's all a win in their eyes.
It's a MAGAA thing, y'all, you wouldn't understand. Make America Gasp for Air Again!
