# Sunk Cost Fallacy Question Pack: Critical Thinking, Comic, Comprehension **Price:** $0.00 AUD **Seller:** TeachBuySell Seller **Year Levels:** noYearLevel **Subjects:** english ## Description (seller-submitted) By 1965, President Johnson's own advisors were telling him the Vietnam War couldn't be won.

The Sunk Cost Fallacy is what happens when past investment becomes the reason for future action. The money is already spent. The time is already gone. None of that changes based on what you decide next. But it feels like it should - and that feeling is the trap. "We've come too far to stop" is not a reason to keep going. It's a description of how far you've come. The only question that matters is what happens from here.

It's the companion to the full Sunk Cost Fallacy Activity Pack and a free preview of the upcoming book, 24 Fallacies and the Historical Disasters That Followed. ⭐ Rated 5.0 by people who now win arguments THE STORY INSIDE Vietnam, 1965.
