As the line goes, for most people the fall of the Roman Empire meant that one day their bridge collapsed and nobody showed up to fix it.
If you were wondering what the collapse of an empire looks like from the inside, just look at the past few days. Empires don't collapse overnight, they collapse gradually, with systems steadily degrading and failing over decades. It's not a spectacular, singular event, it's watching shit that worked fine in the past just stop working and never getting fixed.
