In 1999, a farmer gave away 87 acres of land to a small Texas city to use as a park. The city sold to a data center developer for $10 million.

          Except the actual phrase didn’t originate from whatever Chinese saying you’re talking about. It was an anti-littering campaign, from Texas, in the 1980s.

            No, its from translating ‘the art of war’ into an american dialect. EPA just appropriated it.

              You got evidence to back that up? Especially since the EPA had nothing to do with the ad campaign?

                Yes, but it would be very personally identifying.
