Right. And that would be fumbling at the "5" yard line but the opponent touched and miraculously tipped the ball back to you, and you recovered and still made your points (puns intended).

there's no "the" 5 yard line, there's your 5 yard line and their 5 yard line, and there's 90 yard lines in between them.

Is there any list of ethically sourced chocolate brands? The world is becoming stupid place to live with all these monopolies :(

When you dig deep enough into how manufacturing really works, there are few products, especially consumables, that are ethically sourced.

The show The Good Place explores this idea; it's impossible to live a good life because everything in the supply chain eventually has some bad aspect to it.
