    What you got wrong, or at least didn't grasp, is that there
    was a market for the grain produced on the farms. The
    food was heavily subsidized -- the grain dole, "Bread &
    Circus" -- so the wealth of the individual was driven by
    the poverty of the masses.

    THE MORE POOR PEOPLE, ON THE GRAIN DOLE, THE
    MORE SUBSIDIZED GRAIN WAS IN DEMAND!

    Room was a society dying of cancer. While every jackass
    on the planet explores the so called "Mystery" of why it
    fell, the actual mystery is why and HOW it succeeded for
    as long as it did!

    I am sure that there would be advantages in having more money, more
    significant cash products, and greater influence, but I would like to see evidence more efficient.

    Much of the problem here was that freemen would never farm there.
