I grew up about a half hour from Savannah and had to deal with the bootstrap concept incessantly. Even when my family was down and out, which was a fair amount of time, the bootstrap idea was constantly doled out even while on public support. They have stayed in GA and honestly most haven’t done much, despite this constant reminder to try harder.
I love the final line and the fact this entire phrase means impossibility.
