It reminds me once working for a very large fortune 500 company.

They wanted to save money and reduce manpower in in their Accounting/Finance operations.

As you may know, every company has a large army of accountants who spend all their days accounting for any little difference in reports to make sure all the numbers balance.

So, that company decided to ignore any difference of less than $25,000 and, thus, immediately get rid of many accountants.

Guess what happened next?

Yes, you guessed it: a lot accounting reports and balances had differences of less than $25,000 ... which added up to a lot of money unaccounted for.

True story!

It cost them a fortune and they had to hire more people to fix the mass.

That’s crazy! Can you say the company (as long as your username is anonymous of course).

There are no cutting corners in life, kids.

Democrats will try and tell you that you can get something for nothing. This is blatant falsehood. Only fools believe it, and fools always face a reckoning.
