It's a form of fatalism or stoicism. I noticed very clearly when it became popular, and recognized that it represented acceptance of what could not be changed.It's been less common since the Trump economy took hold, but on the other hand, the absolute insanity in society still tends to make people say this. I may be making 25% more than I was 2 years ago, but on the other hand, SJWs make absurdly radical demands about trannies and reparations and the green nude eel, and media reports them as if they are completely reasonable and not insane at all.It is what it is.</blockquote>
