This week the girls take aim at the World's Worst Decisions...
Ever thought about a past decision you made and thought "if only I had have done that differently?". We all have. It's unlikely that you have made one of the world's worst decisions. Tonight we discuss some decisions made by people, which are considered the world's worst by the girls and critics alike.
But first, what were we drinking?

Amy opened tonight's discussion by explaining that with the benefit of hindsight we can all see where some things went completely wrong. It's easy to judge decisions made by people after it has become apparent that, for many reasons, were completely wrong.
Amy then discussed two light-hearted bad decisions being the time Blockbuster could have purchased Netflix and the time an ocean explorer refused to stake his claim in the wreckage of the Titanic.
The takeaway from this is to be sure to own your wreckage people!
Sarah firstly discussed John Sununu who served as the White House Chief of Staff in the United States of America under President George H Bush. Despite Mr Sununu being a well-educated man, he decided to take it upon himself to question the science of climate change although he had no real knowledge of the subject. This doubt cast on what is now accepted as fact and delayed the USA's response to the climate crisis. This delay in response caused damage that will be felt for years to come.
Sarah then discussed that time Scotland decided to invade England while England struggled with the Black Death outbreak. Poor Scotland, they were beaten in battle and took the Black Death home with them causing the deaths of thousands of their countrymen.
Bianca finished off tonight's topic by discussing the 1950's Chinese movement titled the Great Leap Forward. In the 1950's China's population was rapidly outstripping the available resources and it was too poor to accumulate the resources it needed.
Then-president, Mao Zedong, decided to mobilize China's vast population and emphasize the use of manpower to boost China's economy. Unfortunately for the people of China, the Great Leap Forward was actually twenty steps backward as President Zedong had very little understanding of farming, the economy, and pretty much everything else. Sadly it is estimated that approximately thirty million Chinese people died due to President Zedong's poor decisions.
