8:43 By far the best implication of this reading is that the peasants still can't get Brioche due to it costing the same as regular bread, which they cannot afford.
"The customer is always right" is another one where an extension is commonly claimed to be the origin online. It's most commonly with "in matters of taste", but I've also seen variants such as "about what they want" or even "in their own mind".
I've heard people talk about this one, and yeah, as far as I was personally ever able to find, "the customer is always right" is the earliest known version, though much like many from this series, it's divorced from the original context in the sense that it's usually used in still don't agree with this context, it feels messed up in the same way that "put the victims first" feels messed up when discussing criminal law, but like, if there was ever a third part to this series, then yeah, this feels like one that would work here
I have my own version of this whole thing that happened and that being "You catch more flies with honey than with vinegar." Numberous people told me the "full and true version" was with an ending of "But you get even more with bullshit". I found that personally offended given it was a phrase that my mom taught me and I was always a fun of. I google it, turns out the bullshit addition is, fittingly enough, bullshit. But also there is a "Let Them Eat Cake" style thing too where in it's first known source, that being a book of Italian Phrases from 1666 by Giovanni Torriano where instead of instead of honey, it's apples.
Referring to the "let them eat cake" phrase. I think translating it as being about how peasants can't AFFORD bread or cake is a little inaccurate. Bread wasn't just too expensive, it was also becoming literally scarcer in late 18th centuary France, because of low grain yield (and possibly because of Royals hoarding grain). From what I can read on Wikipedia.

i do feel like the whole "better to be feared than loved" could work nowadays if fear = respected.
So the" let them eat cake" is now our" if you're homeless, why don't you buy a house"?
LMAO
"the peasants cant afford bread? have they tried not buying expensive starbucks drinks?"
I was thinking more like “it’s a banana. What does that cost like $10?”
