Ex 1:
Bill: I lost 50 grand...I'm
definitely gonna win them back next game. I feel good about this, man.
Dave: Nah, you
should be on damage control. Consider your 50 grand a sunk cost.
Ex 2:
James: I can't believe I missed that event...there's
not a fuck I can do now.
Steve: You'll have to work extra hard to play catch up. You're on damage control now.
