I search for a quote from a book. :BoostOK:
Was about cost of shoes and that rich people buy one expensive pair and have dry feet for couple of years while poor people buy a cheap pair each year and have wet feet. Which book and what is the full quote?

  @botvolution someone was faster and more detailed https://chaos.social/@trilader/113550640168833082 😁
  I had Doctorow in mind but it was Pratchett. Thanks.

    @txt_file It's from the Discworld novel "Men at Arms" aka "Boots Theory" on Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boots_theory (the article has the quote and a reference where to find it in the book).
