charging bull / capitalism hot take 

So I think that a big part of what makes Charging Bull so incredibly obnoxious as a symbol of modern capitalism is that purely as a sculpture, it's actually pretty dang good. The pose is evocative and it's full of life, and it's frustrating to see something that might otherwise be interesting repurposed into a symbol of greed and exploitation.
