    Fool me once, shame on you.

    Fool me twice, shame on me.

    Fool me thrice, and you’re officially that guy. You know the one. The kind of guy who shows up to a party. Everyone dlse brought home cooked dishes, many people brought wine and whiskey. But you show up with some sparkling bottled water, because you’re looking to consume more than you paid. You’re the guy who’s looking to “beat the system”. You’re THAT guy.

    Fool me repeatedly and obviously for close to a century over things everyone knows is just bullshit and about money? Welcome to international economic politics.
