I suspect private security company stocks are about to go way up.

Not a lot of people are willing to put themselves between a CEO and a mass riot for $14/hr.

Lol where have you been? People doing monumentally stupid, dangerous and violent things for insultingly small sums of money for rich assholes is kind of our thing. If you offer silver for violence there will always be takers.

Disagree. People do things for profit to a point. As a veteran who's done security work, soldiers and veterans start because of a faith in doing the right thing. Security work doesn't have that ideology. I don't know about you, but I'd rather go home to my family over fighting off 500 people angry about their lives. It's an entirely different motivation, with entirely different standards to be covered. Money doesn't buy values or standards. And when you buy security, that security can be bought. Nobody is untouchable.

People fight for dictators against their fellow citizens

Their CEOs might want to keep a low profile.

I would like a Tiktok account of videos of terrified CEOs sprinting to their vehicles with a bored looking security guard trailing behind them.

It's Italian plumbers and CEO goombas all the way down

I've stated previously that my next career move would be into security because there isn't a single American who wouldn't step out of the way at the first available opportunity and they fucking know it, so foreign security is the only real option ... and I don't need to tell them it isn't any better just because they didn't personally screw us.
