    Alexia, What is “sunk cost fallacy?”
    Fallacy effect. ... People demonstrate "a greater tendency to continue an endeavor once an investment in money, effort, or time has been made." This is the sunk cost fallacy, and such behavior may be described as "throwing good money after bad", while refusing to succumb to what may be described as "cutting one's losses".
    In more English terms, the phrase is "pot-committed" and there is no chance that this phenomenon is a phallacy. To commit a lot of resources (time, energy, money ....) to something and then pull back is an admission that it was a bad idea and managed poorly. Since the managers of these things are the ones that look bad, they trudge on despite the track record or what the future looks like. Every company I have ever worked on has upper and mid-level managers pushing losing projects until senior management has had enough, pulls the plug and fires the idiots!

        Anyone who voted for Biden should automatically be entered into a weekly lottery drawing for adopting the migrant children at the border.

                    So on top of fake stimulus bill, and the fake infrastructure bill, now Biden wants to spend 1.5T in his budget proposal. Includes 861MM to send to central America.

                    Economy is booming, we dont need all this spending!

                            Patrisse Khan-Cullors, the leader of Black Lives Matter and a self-described Marxist, recently purchased a $1.4 million home in an exclusive Los Angeles neighborhood where the vast majority of residents are white, according to reports.

                            88% to be exact

                            Moving on up like the Jefferson’s!

                              This from impending doom broad. Maybe the cry baby meant her career was facing impending doom!

                              The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on Thursday walked back controversial comments made by its director, Dr. Rochelle P. Walensky, suggesting that people who are vaccinated against the coronavirus never become infected or transmit the virus to others.

                              The assertion called into question the precautions that the agency had urged vaccinated people to take just last month, like wearing masks and gathering only under limited circumstances with unvaccinated people.

                                ^ the data still is being studied on vaccinated people. Some are testing positive after being vaccinated. They're not even necessarily symptomatic but could spread the virus. More data is needed but is coming on line rapidly.
