Massive earthquake in Thailand, yet again.

[sirhrmechanic]

This is on top of New Zealand earlier in the week (just off coast). Pacific plate

Sounds like climate change. Better go glue our hands to roads, or throw some soup on artwork or something...

You know what would go good with gluing your hand to the road to change the weather? Eating bugs. That’s what the weather gods really want you to do.

wtf

Mother nature has been pretty grumpy lately

I don't suspect it was any worse than staying in the cab..........

Those cockroaches aren't bad at all.

When they get big enough they are lobster. Crustaceans.

So a 30-story Government high-rise pancaked and took construction crews with it... Still being built.

But here is my question: Most of these fucking government overseas buildings are being built with OUR money. USAID dollars. And the buildings all have to confirm to some kind of Ghey-assed Four-Leaf (if I got that right) enviro-faggot standard we impose on buildings we fund. They have to meet stupid 'sustainability' standards.

But here is a 30-story building that I would bet a big steak dinner on... WE paid for. And it's falling apart like it was a sand-castle made by a 5-year-old. Despite the requirement that it be built to standards like it was a San Fagcisco office tower.

So... where did the money go? Let me guess... a bunch of Thai-boys siphoned off the money. Kickback to the Democrats. Total sham construction using powdered-down cement... a fraction of the specified re-bar... crooked contractors. Money going to every level of graft from the site foreman to the USAID contracting agents... And now a building that should have managed to handle an earthquake is a pancake with "Thai-Boy-construction-worker-filling" and starting to smell bad.

I bet we paid for this. I bet that we did not get what we paid for. I bet the money was siphoned off. I bet that there are lots of dead people because of the giant scam that was USAID AND the whole "Green Building Bullshit" standards and funding.

Anyone want to bet against me? Maybe someone should investigate this. Because I bet WE paid for these rubble piles. That would still be buildings if OUR money had not been stolen and sent to "The Big Guy" and his crackhead son.

Betting against you would not only be NOT prudent, it would be the same as lighting money on fire and watching burn for gits and shiggles.

 

[J-Ham]

I'm pretty sure if you'd do your part & pay more taxes, this kind of thing would stop happening though...

Only if the scar tissue is more than 2 years old.

I hear Lyndsey Graham is scheduling a trip to see the destruction and offer help.
Mostly he's going to check up on his investments there

Many buildings are at their weakest point during construction add a 7.7 ...............and I bet its all their money ,inspections and standards . Wanna see funny/scary , take a level and straight edge on any new home being built ,check the roof trusses ,still plates ,studs etc nailing or lack of BEFORE they insulate and sheet rock . The roof tie down cables in our 2 year old house did not inspire confidence from this old tow truck /crane owner when they opened up a wall that had to be straightened . ironic these were not built by lazy american workers .

Doesn't apply here. They were using too low spec, wrong type (quenched), and concrete completely separated from rebar in collapse means wrong construction methods used and/or cheap concrete. This type steel can't be used for a high rise and that didn't even meet its own spec even if it was correct. the company that supplied the steel was shutdown last year by Chinese government, so you know it was bad.
