I'd guess, and yes, this is speculation on my part, key weight support like I beams or rebar over time were probably exposed to moisture and oxidization and rusted, and could no longer support the weight designed for causing the collapse of a higher deck causing a pancake domino event.

You forgot sinkhole. 

And Big Oil.

Doesn't matter, a sinkhole would show base structure damage.

It does matter, at least to the extent you'd try to find a way to blame a sinkhole on deregulation.

In florida, he'd be right by accident, though it's mostly due to deregulation in agricultural production and industry, not residential construction. Big sugar, the strawberry growers ass, and space coast manufacturers have spent alot of money and time trying to convince the locals that the influx of retiring olds and invading browns are drinking up all the water - but that's just another case like bottlers successfully convincing the consumer that they were responsible for the companies' manufacturing waste.

I;ve gotta say, having grown up at the start of the contemporary environmentalism boom, coinciding with the rapid development of florida...I came out the other end with absolutely no confidence that we the people would do the right thing even if we knew what it was, even if we knew a literal paradise that we lived in was on the line. That, to me, was just foreshadowing for our current global crisis, in retrospect.

He's having a fit trying to figure out how to blame the NRA....

Giuliani’s Law License Suspended

Quote:
In a ruling released following disciplinary proceedings, the court concluded that "there is uncontroverted evidence" that Giuliani, the former Manhattan US attorney, "communicated demonstrably false and misleading statements to courts, lawmakers and the public at large in his capacity as lawyer for former President Donald J. Trump and the Trump campaign in connection with Trump's failed effort at reelection in 2020."

This should be called "The DUH Decision."

A lawyer lied?

No surprise.
...

The surprise is other lawyers turning on him like a pack of hyenas eating their alpha male.

Hyenas (at least the common spotted variety ) don't have Alpha males as they are matriarchal species (As the Females tend to be larger and more aggressive). Nor does the clan turn on the matriarch. A new female takes over the clan after the old one dies.

I had two burritos for dinner - so that might not be the best place to be in the next few hours......
