lost cause

“They’re looking at all this information and saying this is a lost cause.”

The Samaritans passed a small shrine to St. Jude — the patron saint of lost causes — on the Mexico side.

Instead, people grabbed prayer cards with Alatorre’s photo on one side and his favorite saint, St. Jude Thaddeus, the patron saint of lost causes, on the other.

We're interested to hear groups of people arguing about what they think of the characters and the lost causes and solutions, or the exit ways they have along the way, without spoiling anything.

It’s bold thinking, for sure, and it might become a lost cause.
