    A short George Carlin routine in which he says the owners of the country run a big club and ordinary people are not in it.

    Quoted whenever commenters want to express that wealth and power are rigged against ordinary people, as in Robinhood or big-tech threads.

      > To put it in Bill Burr's words,"It's a big CLUB. And YOU AIN'T IN IT." Pretty sure that's actually a George Carlin line, from a relatively famous routine of his. Many, many clips, but here's a random one: this video
