The savings are good, assuming they're correct. The correctness part seems to be in question. Also, I don't know whether the hypothetical benefit is more or less than the things that were being paid for.
- altruios 1y agoCutting costs are not inherently good. Junk food can be cheaper than healthy food, it's not good to save on money now at the cost of spending thousands on medical care and insulin in the future. Or to paraphrase Terry Pratchett: "boots at $10 dollars that last a month are more expensive than $50 dollar boots that last a year" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boots_theory https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boots_theory It's the difference between being cheap and being frugal... There's also the allegation that Elon's Doge cuts were to prevent various agencies from pursuing legal action against him.
- recursive 1y agoIf you can get the same healthy food for less cost, that's inherently good. But often, "you get what you pay for". I addressed that also in my short comment.
