Really!!? only in one day! wow, a lot of money. I do not know if it's good or bad XD.
Just giving out a random large number when talking about defense spending seems to lack the impact that I'm hoping these daily posts will give.
Trust me, I have the same feeling and a lot of people too, we post information that we consider important but sometimes feel that no one cares or it's normal to them.
