The number of Haitian fatalities that occurred on January 12, 2010 due to collapsed buildings, i.e. those structures lacking preventative measures to help ensure they could withstand a severe earthquake, would have been infinitely smaller had these measures been in place. Unfortunately, such building codes – what some call “big government” - were not.
If you’re keeping score at home: 316,000 deaths.
