Let It Die: Inferno what the hell, man?

Hong Kong fire and Grenfell are just alike. Fire spreading through unsafe building materials installed due to penny-pinching, killing dozens. One difference: before the HK fire is even out three executives at contractors have been arrested, eight years after Grenfell no-one has been arrested.

You can’t be pulling this shit with a title like Let It Die, that’s just asking for nominative determinism man.

update on how delivery robots are going in chicago (lakeview specifically)
