My wife and I once stayed in a hotel directly adjacent to Parliament there. Many of the windows were broken and there were burnt-out cars on the street. A few blocks away, a bank had recently been destroyed by arson, and some of its employees died in the fire. Just another day on the road to financial health and prosperity. It beats actually working and paying one’s debts, I suppose. (Is it appropriate that I’m posting from California?)

Thanks to Russell Spencer for reminding me of it.
