Which Romans?
I’m fairly sure a lot of powerful Americans have enjoyed a couple hundred years of good wine and some decadence.
- robertlagrant 3y agoAlmost everyone now can afford wine and some decadance, from a Roman standard. Roman decadence was grapes and wine and meats and sex. Far more people now have access to far better things than the Romans ever experienced.
- elzbardico 3y agowine, meats and sex? What could possibly be better than that?
- robertlagrant 3y agoI'm not saying it could :) I'm just commenting on the "powerful Americans" line, above. I.e. what they called decadent we call normal, in no small part due to Americans who grew powerful (or rather, rich) by delivering increased value to ordinary people.
