✅ How businesses keep funding failing campaigns
✅ Why investors hold falling stocks because “I paid more”
✅ Why people stay because “I’ve already given it so many years”
✅ The Concorde Effect and what it teaches us
✅ How the same thinking can influence major decisions

Past costs are history.

Future costs and benefits are what matter.
