There is no free lunch. Tell me about it.

Today, we often hear the phrase "there is no such thing as a free lunch". For example, when the British Hong Kong government tried to collect taxes, it shouted "There is no such thing as a free lunch" and all public service fees should be "user pays". How did this strange name come from?

According to the time of19th century, some bars in America provide customers with "free lunches". The so-called lunch is nothing more than some shortcakes used to deliver beer; But the so-called free handling fee is not established-there is no bread to eat without buying wine. Therefore, some people say: There is no such thing as a free lunch. In the 1970s, the economist Milton Friedman wrote a book with this phrase as its title. He also quoted this sentence many times in other works and speeches. So, the language is flowing again.

Sometimes, we don't believe that we will get some preferential treatment. We can also use this sentence "Friedman's name", for example, I don't believe that he gave us money without any extreme motives. Yes, I don't believe he didn't send us money with ulterior motives. Nothing for nothing. )
