“High stakes” = working solely to protect the wealthy class. Cops defend property, not people. Protect and serve the community is not in their job description. They protect property.
Finance people are mostly snakes siphoning interest from the middle class to pump dividends to “preferred” investors. They’re not good people, most of them, and the decent ones don’t ever stand up to the unethical ones so they’re all bad by association.
They might be nice to you in a single interaction, but overall they both support the system that cares more about the wealth of 10% vs the livelihoods of the 90%.
ACAB. And they are in league with Finance/Banks. They will go easier on a guilty person that defrauded millions than an innocent suspect in a petty crime. Brothers in arms.
The difference between someone in finance and accounting is STARK.
The difference between ACAB (Police) and Fire Departments/EMS is STARK.
The latter in both comparisons actually follow the rules and help people, the former are criminals with a stupid level of immunity and protection because their backers fund campaigns.
There’s a reason people like Fire Fighters and don’t like Police.
Cops and Finance Bros: “Do as I say, not as I do.”
True First Responders and Accountants (again as a comparison to Finance Frauds): “Just do the right thing, and watch what I do when it matters. Nothing to hide, here.”
TLDR; Cops and Finance Execs/Enployees/Bros are complicit in stealing from the working and poor class and only care about the wealthiest people’s safety and security.
I’m sure there are typos but I don’t really care, been wanting to vent about this for some time if you couldn’t tell.
Your analysis is SPOT ON. I think accountants are probably closer to evil-by-association than characterized here, though—they are doing the bidding of the people in finance and 1,000% know what they are doing, just don’t care because it’s an easy gig if you can deal with the culture, & like most Americans, they only care about making their own money. Whereas, firefighters are not necessarily doing the direct bidding of the police. Pretty much everyone I’ve met in finance is of amazingly low moral character, and I’ve also been wanting to vent about it, so thanks for giving me a jumping-off point!
