We are only at 146 AD on the marker-to-marker scale with the Roman Empire? I thought our Gov’t and society was further along than that.

Overpaid sports stars? check!
Bread and circuses? check!
Central Bank diluting value of money? check!
Welfare for nearly everyone in the capital? check!
Gov’t takeover of key industries? check!
wars around the globe? check!
Decline of Republican Gov’t? check!
Elites and Homosexuals controlling society? check!

Sounds a lot like Formula 1 and they sound like the predecessors of the company up the coast in Marenello aka Ferrari. The horses on the chariot? Ferrari's name is The Scuderia or "stable" for horses. The company logo is a prancing black stallion.

If life imitates life, then I will wager that a lot of his money went to managers, gambling, bling, women, hanger-ons, relatives, drink and by no means least - TAXES!!! Do you suppose that he had any left in his old age, assuming he lived into it?
