    Exactly!

    Another thing I read this reminds me of was about the fall of Rome. It was a piece by a historian and they said for people on the outskirts of the empire, the way they experienced the fall of Rome was that no one came to fix the bridge one day. In other words, the collapse was not some far reaching destructive force. It was felt most intensely in the major government centers.
