By no means a requirement. Personally I think of it as an inclusivity tool for your readers who are prone to misinterpretation or don’t know you well enough to be in on the joke.

Whether you actually want to cater to people like that is your choice, but a ‘/s’ at the end of a message doesn’t make it any less witty in my eyes

As an accountant, it’s a shit ton of money to have hit at once. These companies operate on thin margins. It cant just be settled off their books. I’d reckon Fox has been reserving expense for the legal risk leading up to this to ease the blow. That would be standard practice

It will cause considerable chaos for their internal financial teams and cost cutting will lead to job loss. Shareholders won’t like this

@surcomplicated @Popehat

I’m an accountant and I shudder to think what Fox accounting and finance will go through from this hit.

You don’t just take a billion dollar hit and go business as usual after that. I’d feel sorry but I also chose not to work for the far right so I can only sympathize a tiny tiny bit.

I’d kill to see their whole balance sheet before and after and what they have accrued so far for the legal risk here.

Quite the bluff, trying to get ahead of the story by making an empty threat, the crypto and far right communities just eats it up though, so predictable and so bizarre. Critical thinking is lost on them.
