    That saying refers to allowing someone to do what they want in the expectation that they’ll screw themselves over. I have no idea where you got the idea it involves advertising literal rope.

      C’mon Dr. Owl, do I really need to explain this?

      These people are making a choice to overexpose themselves to risk during a period of great economic uncertainty and are now regretting their actions. You could even say they did what they want and are getting screwed over.
