A Hobson’s choice is a choice between something or nothing, rather than a choice between two or more alternatives.
It is said to originate with a 17th century stable owner Thomas Hobson who offered customers use of a horse of his choice or none at all rather than letting them chose their horse.
Increasing gas prices at the pump this summer will present a Hobson’s choice to commuters out in the suburbs that are locked out of the short range of public transportation.
