I was curious if you could actually buy this which sent me down a small rabbit hole.

Turns out it was, according to checkyourfact.com, a quote falsely attributed to Joe Biden. Looks like that was a few years ago. I hadn’t seen it back then. https://checkyourfact.com/2021/02/10/fact-check-joe-biden-buy-man-fish-teach-fish-man-lifetime/

To the original thing I was looking at of can you buy it, yes you can. https://www.teepublic.com/t-shirt/51262581-buy-a-man-eat-fish-he-day-teach-fish-man-to-a-life But now having context, it’s a political shirt.

Edit: pasted wrong url for shirt and a couple grammatical errors.
