User ID: 76309947 United States 02/07/2020 04:12 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Actually, I do think it is possible to pull one's self up by their bootstraps. The style of boots worn in the 1800's when this saying first started were high boots reaching up over the calf. The boots had loops on both sides to help the wearer pull the boots on. If a boot wearer wanted to get up quickly while lying on their back, the wearer would bring their knees to their chest, where they could grab their bootstraps. Then if the wearer starts straightening their legs while rocking forward, it does indeed get the person in an upright position. It does take effort to do that, which gives the saying its meaning. One of AOC's failures is her willingness to make important decisions based upon little to no knowledge of the truth. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 66464581 United States 02/07/2020 05:43 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | On Thursday, far-left Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), speaking literally about a common expression on hard work, said it was “physically impossible” for people to pull themselves up by their own “bootstraps” or “shoelaces.” Quoting: ~kpm~ “This idea of a bootstrap,” started AOC. “You know this idea, this metaphor of a bootstrap started off as a joke.” “Because, it’s a physical impossibility to lift yourself up by a bootstrap, by your shoelaces,” she continued. “It’s physically impossible!” :BFRI: Imagine the dissappointment when she finds out that Buffalo do not have wings. |
