“If you give a man a fish, he will eat for a day; if you teach a man to fish, he will eat for a lifetime,” but you have done neither. You have stood before us and eaten fish after fish, and chided us for our greed as you have done so. You have cast aside their offal and simultaneously chided us for our waste. You then told us that, coincidentally, you owned the river, and our parents should have gotten us the same if we wanted fish. You gave a man a fish to murder us if we step too close to the river, or speak too loud, or eat a fish from another river. You’ve copyrighted the fishing net. It costs us fish to leave.

Tweet from Tim Ross: "Give a man a fish and he'll eat for a day. Teach a man to fish, buy the pond, tell him he can't have the fish but he can fish for you and you sell the fish and give him a very small cut and then he'll say things like 'I am hungry and my teeth hurt.' Nobody wants to fish these days."
