what a load of bullshit. it's some of that (rather sexist) nonsense about masculinity being some rapacious, rampaging beast that needs to be restrained by the wisdom and gentleness of women. it's also bullshit because the bull already has an opponent, which has more right to be made into a statute - it's a loving bear. it can be a female bear if it bothers people that much. to show it just give it a pink ribbon around its paw or some poo poo.

Tesla is now the highest valued car company in the us despite selling less than 80k vehicles last year, only turning a profit two quarters of its existence, losing 800mil last year, and being on track to lose a billion this year. In conclusion, death to America

This avatar was paid for by the Silent Majority.

quote:

Maloney, a New York Democrat, said the bronze girl was a testament to the power of art in society. “She has really, really become a meaningful part of the community of New York,” Maloney said. “Everyone sees their own dreams and aspirations in the strength of this little girl.”

"...Right before they're mowed down by the overfed maniac beast that kills all who draw near to it, here representing Wall Street itself."
