an attempt to reduce damage caused by a previous failure, when fixing such a failure is either temporarily or permanently impossible, or undesirable due to risk
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.
Something which is enforced in Britain, and as a result, only 70 people a year are killed each year by guns, compared with America's 12'000.
And don't say 'that's because America's population is vastly bigger'. It's only 4 times bigger than Britain's, which means only 280 people should be killed by guns each year over there
Switzerland don't have gun control, but they have a low crime rate because they're not constitution-fucking American nutjobs!! In the words of the great Chris Rock; 'You need some bullet control!!'
