minus-square@Windex007link9•edit-210 days agoIt was an UP TO 8 million contract, of which 2.5 million had been spent. At the current spend rate vs contract length, it wouldn’t have reached 8 million. But, best case scenario, it saved 5.5 million. Very possibly not even that, though.
minus-square@over_cloxlink-1•edit-210 days agoDid you even bother reading the headline? “DOGE Claimed It Saved $8 Billion in One Contract. It Was Actually $8 Million.” That’s literally 1000x order of magnitude difference. AKA, a fucking scam.
minus-square@over_cloxlink1•10 days agoYou’re absolutely right. Please downvote me, I was clearly out of place. My bad, hope you and everyone has/had a good day 👍
