  • I used to be a contractor and was sometimes bad at processing timesheets and invoices.

    I had one occasion where I had (numbers made up because it was ages ago) £100 in the business bank account with no overdraft facility when a £150 payment went out.

    The payment went out putting me overdrawn. They waited a day before deciding that I wasn’t allowed an overdraft and putting the money back.

    During that 24 hour period a payment for £25 was processed and blocked because I was overdrawn.

    They then charged me two fees for refusing the payments even though I had money for the second one in the bank.

    I switched banks right after that.

    That’s what I was thinking except I was thinking about the military. Why are the numbers for health so much lower than for war. It’s not a little lower it’s multiple zeroes lower and that’s not just the US. The UK is paying $22m to the WHO but has a military budget more than 3,000 times larger!
