You mean zero accountability and endless greed has left us completely
unprepared for basically everything. Imagine that...
I'm from WA. We learned about how serious the "big one" will be in the
90s at school. They have known how serious the situation is for
decades and have refused to add any preparatory infrastructure.
Seattle is going to sink. I'm surprised some buildings haven't. The
state has left the responsibility to maintain the old Seattle
underground to the building owners- who have continously ignored it.
It is already unstable without an earthquake in the mix. But,
honestly, it feels like an illustration of the US in a nutshell
I'm reminded of when I was reviewing for my civil engineering license
back in 1994. At the time we used the Uniform Building Code. There was
a graphic showing west coast seismic risk zones along California. And
all the lines turned to zero at the Oregon-California border and
stayed zero all the way to Canada. So yes, most structures in OR and
WA weren't built to withstand shaking.
