“I think it’s wrong that only one company makes the game Monopoly.”
— Steven Wright
Simplified Meaning:
The quote is pointing out an irony. Monopoly, the game, is all about trying to control everything and beating out the competition. But in real life, it's funny that just one company controls and makes the Monopoly game. It's like saying the game itself is doing what it teaches you to do. Think about how in real life, some big companies try to control an entire market, like how one brand might own almost all the other brands in the same market. For example, a few big companies own many of the food brands we see in the grocery store. The quote suggests that even in the world of playing games, we see this happening. We can apply this idea by being aware of monopolies in our world. It's good to support small businesses and competitors to keep the market fair and open. This way, no single company has all the power, and consumers have more choices and better prices.
