Somewhere a level of c-suite executives will spend 8 months analyzing how things went wrong at the cost of probably 20 million dollars.

All safety regulations have been removed because it’s “stifling industry”. And regular training and pay raises to keep worker morale high have been discontinued. But this can all be fixed by bringing in cheap overseas labor at 1/6th cost.
