I should have read the whole article before I posted the above reply.
My bad.
Nope is actually just dumb.
AOC on America’s rags-to-riches ideal: “It’s a physical impossibility to lift yourself up by a bootstrap, by your shoelaces? It’s physically impossible. The whole thing is a joke.”
Anyone who would make a statement like this, believing it literally is just not very intelligent.
We have something at our office that we call “THE BOOK” of famous company sayings. If someone makes a stupid statement on the trading floor, we will say, there’s one for the book.
For example, here are a few direct quotes:
“Don’t bark up a tree that won’t let you climb it”
“Don’t beat a dead bush”
“I got one thing to say, JUST SELL”
“Who do you call to fill up your well?”
“John: Its my night to bring beer, I will bring two 12 packs.
Ed: Why don’t you case bring a case?”
John: “No, we can hardly even drink two 12 packs”
“Jen: Wow, you sold a railcar to Hawaii. How did you get it there?”
“Sean: “Over the bridge”
“ Jen, wow, I did not know there was a bridge to Hawaii”
Yet, all these people are very successful commodity traders.
I thought that was against FR rules.
