Babel's tower or the bubble

Something that gets bigger and bigger up to the moment it bursts. Market bubble.

It might be that with the death of manufacturing and with cheap available [borrowed] money the American economy can live only out of bubbles.
What will be the next bubble? The innovators can invent only new bubbles.
How is this compatible with the immediate availability of information? Are people getting exciting over [bubbling over?] nothing, or knowingly trying to exploit schemes bordering on irrationality just to make a fast buck. Hoping they will not be caught the last ones holding the Joker.
At the same time there is another meaning germane to market bubble. Living in a bubble -like not aware of what the reality is. Like in Bush lives in a bubble- isolated [by a rubble wall?]
Etymology - Babel's tower was something raising higher and higher till Euler rules of stability took it down..

nonsense - free to post though

When politics cannot really affect your day to day - you might be living in a free place. When your individual actions can impact political decisions or discourse you live in a democracy.

Politics is just a show. Something my one hundred year old aunt can still follow and be interested in.
As she is falling apart my aunt keeps current with world events...Just a bad habit
