It fell during an earthquake.

Explanation:

The colossus refers to a statue of Helios that was created in the city of Rhodes (Ancient Greeks.) Helios was known as the of Sun, and the local believed that he aided them during their successful defense against Demetrius Poliorcetes. They built the statue to celebrate the victory.

In of 226 BC, a huge Earthquake occurred on Rhodes and caused the statue to fell apart. Since the construction was extremely expensive, the Rhodes did not made any attempt to fix the statue.

the reason the welfare system causes so much of a burden on its recipients is because the welfare system does not give its recipients any real tools to actually get out of poverty. the welfare system has embedded poverty deeper into society and has made it harder and harder for people to escape poverty.

in other words, it stoped the poor, and now its making it worse.
