Explanation

Hobson's Choice is named after Thomas Hobson, a 17th-century English carrier who operated a livery stable. Hobson required customers to take the horse nearest the door or none at all, eliminating their ability to choose. The phrase means taking what's offered or nothing - essentially no real choice at all.
