Great, a criminal probe and a fired civil-protection chief. That fixes the missing national ride code. Mexico has no federal amusement-ride standard—inspections are municipal, and a permit can be a clipboard and a handshake. One dead 18-year-old later, we’re supposed to call this accountability. It’s not. It’s a ritual. The ride gets sealed; the next fair opens Friday.
