      Apply the same critique to anything someone hopes.

      I hope Santa brings me a bike this year!

      I hope my cancer goes into remission.

      I hope I get to see them in heaven someday.

        The presence of hope doesn’t necessarily mean the person believes their statement is going to happen though. On the tangent of Walmart, I hope Amazon Fails too :).

          No I’m just saying it’s a funny thing to say to someone saying “I hope” I think hope’s just an unrealistic distraction, but I also hope big box stores get collapsed.
