11. There is nothing wrong and everything right with using horrific events as calls to action

Horrible tragedies have spurred extraordinary reforms.

The folk that are sick are the ones that sit back and say ; Oh this is bad but, but .... don't exploit the tragedy and use it as a call to action to prevent this from happening again.

I wonder if the same folk would have called the quest for reform following the Triangle Shirt Factory fire, exploiting the tragedy (there were plenty of factory owners that did just that).

The Dhaka factory collapse spurred the same kind of exploitation of a tragedy (reforms calling for safe working conditions for workers, many factory owners continue to fight this).
