    Horrible news out of Miami.


    • Oh fuck, were there people inside? I saw this on Twitter and was under the impression the building had been cleared?!Nairn
    • Wow, fuck! that looks like a controlled demolition.utopian
    • 51 people assumed to be living in collapsed building are not accounted for.utopian
    • No news yet on how many people were in the units during the collapse. So far they’re saying 1 person has died.Ramanisky2
    • this is the world's richest and most powerful country? what a shitshow. poor people inside :(_niko
    • Totally Niko. Is the US equivalent of the Grenfall Towers fire?Ianbolton
    • South Florida looks more like Beirut.utopian
    • Jesus. Poor people, that's awful.instrmntl
    • This might finally put some regulation on labor in that city. Most of it is random Cubans/Puerto Ricans (non union) building shite for foreign cash.toemaas
    • BTW, My family and I stayed at a place 2 blocks away from there on the ocean front in FEB - area is in "re-development" kinda shitty over there.toemaas

    • The entire infrastructure of America is literally collapsing and crumbling...roads, bridges, energy grid, water, sewage, housing, internet, etc...MAGAutopian
    • And yet they worship and celebrate multi billionaires who are too smart to pay taxes. Capitalism ftw_niko
    • Is it really capitalism if there are state bailouts? Capitalist in profit, socialist in lossesESKEMA
    • Wow! Maya? Houdini?i_was
    • I'm so confused rn.. they're reporting a partial collapse? that top video doesn't look partial. Partial in regards to the whole complex? wtfsea_sea
    • oh shit... the lights were on....
      proper demolition would have cut the power already....

    • Horrible to say the least. So sad.dbloc
    • @niko, if you want to talk about about first world disasters you need not go any further than your country's handling of the pandemic.hotroddy
    • and you need not go beyond 60 miles off floridas' coast to see how socialism can ravege a country to where the infrastructure is a trace of 65 years agohotroddy
    • even after receiving billions in 'economic aid' from Russia in 80's and Venezuela's pertro dollars for the last 20 years.hotroddy
    • which one Hotroddy? the relatively low deaths or the social net that allowed Canadians to not starve to death and/or die because they had to work?_niko
    • or the part where the ones that got sick didn't lose their homes or all their life savings to get cured?_niko
    • calm. calm. all hotroddy is saying is that as long as US is doing better than Venezuela, it's all good.pango
    • the part where they doubled down on ruining the economy and case count per capita exceeds that of the US. In a country one tenth the size of US.hotroddy
    • got it, thanks pango. in that case congrats hotroddy on having less building collapses than a third world country... or is it more?_niko
    • Yes, we are by far the leaders in collapsed buildings. Can't wait to be the leaders of tropical socialism.hotroddy
    • so glad Us is doing better than Venezuelapango
    • your sarcasm is insulting to venezuelans and almost racisthotroddy
    • Still confused about how a handful of inspectors' neglect is somehow associated with a countries economic index...toemaas
    • Yet another rant on socialism and Venezuela, LOLutopian
    • wut? lol go ask any venezuelans and see if they think US should be doing better than them. US has every advantage to do better. it's a given.pango
    • Venezuela WAS the USA 30 years ago.hotroddy
    • US was a tropical socialist country?pango
    • Keep up pango. Venezuela was a rich capitalist country that attracted as many immigrants as USA.hotroddy
    • @utopian, I was talking about Cuba (60 miles off the coast of Florida. @pango made it about Venezuela. I guess he doesn't know his geography.hotroddy
    • as many?
      nono you made it about Venezuela. i wouldn't be talking about Venezuela if you didn't start it. don't push that shit on me lol
      pango
    • also seems like Venezuela is your go to punching bag. talk about insulting Venezuelan. you've done it every single time. the comparison is a real stretch.pango
    • also i wonder if US had anything to do with government change.... hmmmmpango
    • US played a part in the 2002 coup to try to overthrow Chavez.hotroddy
    • not acknowledging that USA can become another venezuela is part of the problem. It shares the same class and demographic structures as USA. Cuba as well.hotroddy
    • see that's exactly my poing. every time someone criticizes US, he then goes "what about Cuba? what about Venezuela?" thinking US cant be criticized is a farpango
    • bigger problem than becoming cuba or venezuela. pffff lol if possible at all.pango
    • You’d have to be a special kind of fucktard to think this was a product of socialism or that capitalism could have prevented this.monospaced
    • 159 now listed as missing... :( horriblePonyBoy
