Quotation:
People don’t understand the analogy of football and acting, but there’s a great deal of it that’s the same. You get dressed in the room, and you think you’ve got it all prepared, and later on in the game you wish you had put on more pads ’cause they’re just kicking the hell out of you. God almighty, I’ve been beat up by the best.
Burt Reynolds
Social Example:
Social media platforms are perfect examples of socialism. You get it for free, the quality sucks, you have no say in how it works, the guy who runs it gets rich, you have no privacy, there’s no real competition, and if you say something they don’t like they shut you up.
