Was Brazil's Tragic Museum Fire Lit by Rio's Olympic Torch?

Money spent on fixing a window is money not spent on buying new shoes. People too easily forget that breaking a store's window costs shoes because the store owner must replace the window and can no longer afford to buy shoes.

The Olympics was the window Rio de Janeiro broke. The city spent billions to host the 2016 Olympics (and even more on the 2014 World Cup) for stadiums that now stand empty (a typical result). Had Rio not hosted the Olympics, the National Museum might have survived.
