Water flows through the ruins at the site of the ancient Greco-Roman city of Cyrene (Shahhat) in eastern Libya, about 60 kilometres (37 miles) west of Derna, on September 21,2023, in the aftermath of a devastating flood. The immediate damage to the monuments of Cyrene, which include the second century AD Temple of Zeus, bigger than the Parthenon in Athens, is relatively minor but the water circulating around their foundations threatens future collapses, the head of the French archaeological mission in Libya, Vincent Michel, told AFP.

Notice how they like to blame climate change instead of failure to maintain infrastructure.

This had nothing to do with climate change, this was simply the infrastructure not being maintained.

This sort of thing will continue to happen all over the world where the infrastructure originally built by Europeans colonists eventually fails, because it isn’t being maintained by the locals.

The problem with socialism is you eventually run out of other peoples money, and eventually the infrastructure build by capitalism will fail after the socialists and communists sieze it.
