Bronx Fire: Crumbling Infrastructure and Lack of Accountability Affects Low-Income Families

In the Bronx at a residential building named Twin Peaks, hundreds of residents were the victims of a fire in a residential building. The fire killed 17 people, including 8 children. All victims died of smoke inhalation. 

The fire was most likely caused by a malfunctioning space heater that created “billowing” smoke that caused the building’s stairwells to become very dangerous. The building had violated many different safety procedures and laws – there were no fire escapes, a building-wide sprinkler system, or doors that are meant to close automatically.

Taxing the Rich Could Save Lives, Oxfam Reports

The coronavirus pandemic, release of the Pandora Papers, and overall social media discourse have emphasized the wealth inequality present in the world today. In the United States, much of the conversation around wealth inequality revolves around taxation. The rich do not pay their fair share of taxes. 

From the beginning of the Covid-19 pandemic to today, the world’s 10 richest men have doubled their cumulative worth of $700 billion to $1.5 trillion. Oxfam’s executive director Gabriela Bucher said, “If these ten men were to lose 99.999 percent of their wealth tomorrow, they would still be richer than 99 percent of all the people on this planet.”
