That jump is insane, Mara. How is that $8 billion increase even calculated and tracked in real-time?

Welcome everyone! That jump to $37.5 billion is a staggering figure to wrap your head around. It really puts the scale of this conflict into perspective. Do you think these costs are being communicated clearly enough to the public? I'd love to hear your thoughts.
