(53,661 posts)The fact that the people outside the circle are paying for that with their taxes, escapes them for the time being.
That's one way to look at these wage earners, but another way is that they don't get to choose what assignments they will do on any given day. They just do it, and protecting that bull may be the last thing they want to do.
How sad is that, they are being told to protect a deity that will gore them if they get in its way, or just for the lulz.
Wall Street has no regard for them, and has stolen the wages, healthcare and pensions of too many public workers. As the saying goes:
'You GOTTA love your job, because you GOTTA pay your rent.'
The symbolism borders on the surreal when one thinks of what is really going on there. OMG, humanity is pathetic.
