A cynical proverb describing the mechanics of exploitation: the world is full of people willing to cheat (crooks) and people ready to be cheated (fools). When they encounter each other, a transaction happens—a scam, a bad bargain, a manipulation—where the crook wins and the fool loses. The saying suggests that such encounters are inevitable, not exceptional, and that vigilance is required to avoid being the fool. It is often invoked to warn against trusting too easily, especially in business, politics, or online interactions.
"Every day a crook and a fool leave home. When the two meet, someone makes a deal." Example: “He thought the crypto investment opportunity was real. His friend quoted the old saying: every day a crook and a fool leave home. When the two meet, someone makes a deal.”

Leavemethefuckalone

No more killing or ANY of this shit. Wrong people, wrong answers. People listening are stupidest for listening to the stupider. I want left alone. Should FBI IC3 report, only on people like the judicial system etc. All the normal things they go after people would have immunity.
