Billions are spent on paint, patchwork, and temporary fixes, while over 200 million occupants remain trapped inside, hoping these surface treatments will prevent collapse. The reality is grim. The building continues to deteriorate, and its collapse is inevitable. Yet, rather than facing this truth, the occupants are told to seek refuge in prayers and spiritual rituals, diverting attention from the struct...
