"I took the road less traveled." Which in the original poem means pretty much the opposite of what people are trying to say.
Not a quote, just a single word that's overused to death, and you can probably already guess the word...
"Woke"
Just shut the fuck up! Please please please just shut up!
"It was the best of times, it was the blurst of times" -stupid monkeys
That trickle-down economics quote. There's studies about it [not working] published but it's just studies.
The original quote is "If you feed enough oats to the horse, some will pass through to feed the sparrows" from Galbraith.
I imagine people are not yet ready to learn this "promise" ain't holding water.
So we all get to eat shit? Is that the point of the quote?
I don't understand how that is meant to be supportive of trickle-down economics.
"Early to bed and early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise"
You do realise that people who are awake during the night are of equal importance, who's gonna run those power plants and radio stations and petrol service stations and police forces and whatever else? If they shut off during the night, there'd be chaos. At least a chaos that most folks won't see because they're asleep or something.
"Settled science." Used by people who don't understand that science at its heart is constantly questioning everything.
I said what I said...
Even worse when they admit they were wrong and still say “I stand by what I said”
"You must be funny at parties"
Specially if you're not around, bitch
At the end of the day...
We need to be like Amazon and hyper focus on the customer
"Blood is thicker than water" followed by the equally erroneous "covenant" explanation.
