Used as a response to a promise that will obviously not be kept. After the Civil War, the U.S. government promised freed slaves “40 acres and a mule” as part of land redistribution plans under General William T. Sherman’s Special Field Order No. 15.
"Didn't you hear? They're going to forgive everyone's student loan debt"
"Yeah, 40 acres and a mule too".

Get the 40 Acres and a mulemug. The 60/40 split is a form of relationship dynamic, statistically one of the most, if not THE most stable relationship dynamic. It is where the man is the primary earner and pays 60% of the bills, and the woman is the secondary earner who pays 40% of the bills. In terms of chores and childcare, they are split evenly among the couple. This is not to be confused with the 40/60 split where the man pays 40% and the woman pays 60%.
Statistically, a relationship with a male primary earner, female secondary earner, and equal sharing of household responsibilities, is the most stable - with low rates of adultery, low rates of divorce, and high rates of reported marital satisfaction. This is because it strikes a balance with the best of both worlds between traditional and egalitarian relationships, meeting it in the middle.
Kids may or may not be put in daycare, depending on the couple's preferences. Sometimes the government may choose paid transferable parental leave, which is also a good option.

Get the Cabin 40mug. When your mind tells you that you're exhausted, fried, and totally tapped out, you're really only 40 percent done. You still have 60 percent left in your tank.
The 40 Percent Rule is when your mind tells your body to give up when pushed passed maximum limits. It’s what I use to push beyond my human limits. To achieve and become a God. The One Above All. Him.
