Trumpical Sunk Cost Blues (NoKings XXX) Track

A sunk cost is money, time, or effort you've already spent and can't get back. The trap is continuing to invest in something because of what you've already put in, rather than based on whether it's actually worth continuing. "I've already paid for the ticket so I'll sit through the terrible movie" is the classic example. Rational decision-making says ignore what's already gone and judge only what lies ahead.
