[californiadisasters] Off-Topic:Earthquake in Iran

I doubt the Iranians did much of anything to be quite honest.
They have a chronically piss-poor economy due to economic mismanagement by the military regime that has supplanted the mullahs as the real power and now add to that a global Great Recession.

As a result of the focus of their increasingly meager budgetary resources going to fund their military-industrial complex, particularly their nuclear program as well as their proxy war with Israel via Hezbollah in Southern Lebanon as well as any Palestinian group whom will act as a thorn in the side of Israel from the Palestinian Territories they aren't doing much to patch any metaphorical potholes in the streets.

Anywho, let's move this thread over to the discussion group to which I'm double-posting this message.

Could be quite nasty there. It is just about 7 years since a 6.6M near Bam caused something like 25,000 deaths and about twice that in injured. This is not all that far away from Bam. I wonder if they learned lessons as to building standards since the last one.
