More people died at the Colosseum than Jonestown and that’s a tourist attraction. The reality is you either turn it into a tourist attraction or let it get eaten by the jungle and forgotten. That’s how historical buildings are, keeping them costs money, not keeping them costs knowledge. Pick one.

The curious can pay $750 to visit the clearing where Jones’ religious cult,

Or, you can fly in, find a local, and pay him $20 to ride in the back of his pickup truck, to taxi your dopey ass out there.

Visiting death sites is now in vogue. How about Fauci’s office?

Years ago there was a joke going around about Jonestown. I can't remember the first part it, but the punchline was a killer.
