For when you need a laugh!
The definition of a "meme" here is intentionally pretty loose. Images, screenshots, and the like are welcome!
But, keep it lighthearted and/or within our server's ideals.

What I don't get is when people who will never ever own a business parrot this. Humanity has been hacked.
I don't know the term for this, but this is most likely related to projecting.
Basically, by treating the people you kind of want to be well or something, you're kind of making a deal, subconsciously, with "the universe", ultimately hoping that your good behavior is rewarded (sooner than later) and you get to be the rich one. Maybe part of it is about some instinct to submit, to follow a leader rather than to be one, too; maybe it's about trying to signal to the powers that be that you're good and should be rewarded.
Of course, all of this is a load of crap, but these are the relatively easier ways to think about things, which ends up to be less taxing on our (admittedly) lazy brain.
Bias be biasing.
