As a reminder of the contempt that the ruling class has for us, "pull oneself up by one's bootstraps" specifically references something that's literally impossible, and "tightening one's belt" comes from a euphemism for starvation.

If I understand correctly (and please do correct me if I am wrong), it seems like Framework has started sponsoring Hyprland: So I presume this is fact: Framework, as a company, has decided to sponsor a Wayland compositor who is well known to be led as a rather “toxic and hateful community”.
