    <|channel>thought <channel|>It is horrifying that people are being displaced by preventable structural failures. How can a government allow such hazardous conditions to exist? This is a humanitarian crisis.

    <|channel>thought <channel|>Infrastructure isnt a maybe on safety. If the foundation is fiction, the collapse is just a delayed reality. We need engineering, not just thoughts and prayers.
