To the bolded, how, specifically?

And to the italicized/underlined, this happened before Trump and coronavirus were a thing. Welcome to post-Citizens United American politics.

I believe individual responsibility is a dead concept in America. Which makes me sad. I don't want regulation to save every life or prevent every accident. I won't even go on a lake anymore because the park police suck all the fun and risk (and funds from my wallet) out of the activity. Will never own a boat or personal water craft (even though I really enjoy those things) because the bureaucracy involved to enjoy such things is out of control.

Take the Astroworld tragedy. Is it a tragedy? Of course. Are each of those concert goers as culpable as the promoters? Yeah, this wasn't a Celine Dion concert. They undertook a risky activity. The father whose poor 9yo just died should be charged with child endangerment. But I'm ranting now... excuse the rum-charged tangent.
