Did you know that the Roman empire collapsed because emperor Vespasian banned free curbside parking and made car parking paid? The expression "pecunia non olet" refers to the exhaust fumes of the Roman cars.

I thought it was because Vespasian was heavily subsidizing putt-putt cars and impeding the transition to electric cars by banning charging stations near pubic marketplaces.

@Pat No, that would've rescued the Roman empire. If he had had just a pinch of sanity and save the system-relevant car industry, the price dumping Huns would have never been able to overrun the Empire. ☝️
