That was the “tail light special”, when you don’t see the tail lights any longer, the special is over.

Don’t care about the video, I’ve seen dozens of these “buildings fall on construction vehicle trying to take it down.” But thank you for for the awesome new word, Resistentialism.
Off-topic, but it seems like a visual analogy for the Trump administration vs impeachment/2020 elections.

You’re right. The structure didn’t create all that rubble, so I guess pokey-machine-thingy must be the Trump administration.

‘Resistentialism’ was coined by the English humorist Paul Jennings in his essay “Report on Resistentialism”, his sketch of the philosophy pioneered by leading French intellectual Pierre-Marie Ventre, often summarized with the words “Les choses sont contre nous” (‘The things are against us.’). If you Google the complete title, you should be able to find the full text. It’s a fun read, particularly if you know anything about Sartre and existentialism.
