    Erm... I learned about this in Economics class, but what's the point of this thread xD? For those who are completely confused, the "No Free Lunch" principle means that nothing is free. No matter what you do, there is always someone who must pay for your "lunch", even if it's not you. For example, you get a free lunch at a restaurant, well someone has to pay for that. Since the owner is giving you food without any cost, he has to pay for the meal.

    And that is your economics lesson for the day :p

    The op is a double negative implying there are "free lunches". Also "ain't" isn't a word.
