FFS my accountant goes crazy if I don’t have a receipt from 7-11 for a bag of beef jerky, can of Red Bull and a bag of Doritos. But the pentagon can have. $6.2 billion accounting error?

Don’t go by this headline, it’s not accurate. “The Pentagon said an accounting error resulted in an overestimation of the value of weapons being sent to Ukraine by $6.2 billion over the last 2 years, and as a result, there is a surplus of money available for future security”

“Pentagon spokeswoman Sabrina Singh said a detailed review of the accounting error found that the military services used replacement costs rather than the book value of equipment that was pulled from Pentagon stocks and sent to Ukraine.”

That headline lacks context, but cost of a bag of beef jerky to you isn’t that far off from 6.2 billion for the pentagon…

I had to recount my entire drawer and station as a bank teller for $.01 one time - one cent. A penny. A damn penny.
One penny short. One penny over. Idk, can't remember. Didn't matter. Got audited down to the penny. 😅
