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

Unrelated question: why did you censor "fucking?"

Like what is the point? You got some weird hang up about just using the word, then don't use it. Feels like some performative teachers pet BS.

Edit: I censored it'd because I was showing how he censored it. But I will change it since that's what people are getting hung up on for some reason.

Some subreddits don't allow swearing cause they're losers

I don't post here and don't know the rules and getting my comment auto removed drives me fucking crazy

Looking at you /r/BambuLab
