‭2.‬‭Mari‬ ‭and‬ ‭Phil‬ ‭proposed‬ ‭saving‬ ‭on‬ ‭marketing‬ ‭costs‬ ‭by‬

‭trying‬ ‭a‬ ‭different‬ ‭strategy.‬ ‭Even‬ ‭though‬ ‭I‬ ‭didn't‬ ‭find‬ ‭it‬

‭of school and move‬
‭to Africa. Just like that!‬

‭5.‬‭In‬ ‭no‬ ‭way‬ ‭could‬ ‭we‬ ‭have‬ ‭prevented‬ ‭such‬ ‭outrage.‬ ‭This‬
‭level‬ ‭of‬ ‭inefficacy‬ ‭from‬ ‭someone‬ ‭like‬ ‭Dale‬ ‭just‬ ‭seemed‬
‭unthinkable.‬ ‭No‬ ‭one‬ ‭could‬ ‭have‬ ‭anticipated‬ ‭this‬
‭outcome.‬
