The last capitalists in America will charge admission ( like the Roman Colosseum ) for a tour of our own glorious ruins.

The problem of rotting infrastructure goes far beyond these precariously constructed bridges in Rhode Island. You don't have to be a clairvoyant to foresee COMING CATASTROPHE for populated big cities all over the USA. In a way, it is like the fall of the Roman Empire. The HUBRIS of that ancient glory built up more than it could maintain and sustain. In 21st century it will be impossible to remove out of sight all crumbling ruins of decaying capitalism. Like the poet Shelley's " Ozymandias " : " Look on my Works, ye Mighty, and despair. " Homo Sapiens learns the tragic way that there are " limits to growth " even in capitalist utopia. NOTE : The last capitalists in America will charge admission ( just like the Roman Colosseum ) for a tour of our own glorious ruins.
