This is a lot like how our government is all concerned about National Security™ when it comes to pretty much anything else, but a bipartisan bill, supported by both of the last 2 presidents, and upheld unanimously by our current dysfunctional Supreme Court, with National Security™ as the excuse, and we still have Tiktok.
Laws are only there so the ruling class can keep us in line and them in power, and they will never be enforced homogenously.
People will say “I don’t need God in my life to be a good person” out one side of their mouth, while out the other say, “People need laws and the state to be a good person.” I’m an atheist just like them, I just go one god further.
I’d love to talk shit about the current administration too, but I’ve been in buildings where fire inspectors would cut off the power cords of any space heaters they found because they violated code.
The people who hire the fire inspectors don’t actually care, but the fire inspectors do. Probably because they’ve smelled far more charred human flesh than anyone should.
Country that has never once given a shit about fire codes suddenly discovers an excuse to arbitrarily emiserate dozens of people.

Exactly what do you thinks fines do! If you’re rich, fines don’t matter… if you’re poor, go to jail for not being able to pay a fine.
We only ever got rid of debtor’s prison in name.
Amazing how hard Dems worked to turn TikTok into another far right media platform.
You seem easily distracted

I’ve never seen a fire inspector in any building I’ve worked in. Twenty five years on the job and it’s never happened.
I believe you, but your anecdote isn’t really evidence of anything.
And I’ve personally witnessed the fire marshal annually inspect my last 3 jobs. I may not have been present for the inspections at other jobs.
I’ve been working about ~15 years and every job I’ve ever had I’ve seen a fire inspector about 6 times
Probably should give a shit about fire codes everywhere else too tbqh
