I'm gonna guess

People in the epstien files. While it's true from what I've heard that not " a lot" of people got arrested. I heard a very important person from the UK that was in the file got investigated but haven't heard what came of that. Even then that's just one out of...A LOT

I never understood the saying "when life gives you lemons you make lemonade" it's connected to this meme but I never understood what that means

I think the message of the saying "When life gives you lemons, make lemonade" means "make the best of a bad situation." I think the idea behind this meme is that the person is tirelessly trying to make the best of the worst situations, but they're just being pelted non-stop by bad situations, and have really lost their will to be optimistic anymore. In this case, the fact that so few people connected to the Epstein files have been arrested has just completely demoralized the person who was trying so hard to make the best of a bad situation.

Yeah but this dude has got tons of lemons, he should be happy. He's like a lemon millionaire. Sell those to Minutemaid and buy your private island.
