            It’s more that the punters think we are giving away but actually the cost is worked into price increases on the products they have to buy to get the bootstraps. They don’t notice the increases because they get the bootstraps. The cost of producing the bootstraps is so low that technically the stores turn a profit on them.

              That all sounds complicated and confusing, so it must be wrong. Those filthy poors are getting something they didn’t pay for and can’t afford. That’s socialism.

          Well there is the matter of the laws of physics and reality where you literally can’t pull on your own feet to lift yourself up.

            The laws of mathematics are very commendable, but the only law that applies in Australia is the law of Australia
