This meme is a humorous commentary on the concept of "freedom" in the context of economic policy. The image features a quote from the economist Milton Friedman, which reads: "If you put the word 'freedom' in the mouth of the average person, you will get a definition of freedom that is a little bit of a joke." The meme uses this quote to poke fun at the idea that people often use the word "freedom" to describe a loan from a bank, which is a common practice in the US.

Michael Tae Sweeney : — @mtsw Nothing shouts "freedom" like having to take out a five figure loan from a wall street bank, buy a car that costs thousands a year to maintain and insure and fill it with a constant steam of gas controlled by a handful of multinationals, just to get to fucking work @ Dr Jordan B Peterson @ @jordanbpeters... - id Two ways of identifying totalitarians: (1) they hate comedians; (2) they disapprove of the private automobile. Nothing shouts freedom like a car. 8:04 PM - 29 Dec 21 - Twitter for Android
