Balloons and bubbles

Capitalism, tribalism, and hypocrisy

Something small is spread through word of mouth.

It becomes gargantuan.

Then it pops.

And the people who helped spread it — help it grow to the size it was before popping — bask in — yet balk at — its demise.

It was yours. Now it’s theirs. Burn it down? No.

It was yours. Now it’s all of ours. Celebrate!
