A parking garage collapsed, killing somebody.

Anybody who says government is too intrusive should face the
possibility that the concrete was watered down and the building
inspector paid off.

It's hard to do that today. More likely they used recycled
steel or put less rebar in. Afterall, who's going to miss 25%
rebar or notice that it was substandard gauge and made from
recycled steel after the concrete is poured?
