By The Numbers - part the seventy fifth

What's that they say, "payback's a bitch"? First, the Musk Ox makes you his bitch (he he), then your business takes it in the neck.
On Monday, NPR reported that by midday more than 200,000 people had canceled their digital subscriptions to the Post, citing two people familiar with the matter.
What's the over/under in days to hit 1,000,000?

As of 2023, digital total was 2.5 million. Already nearing a 10% hit. Some bidnezz have gone under losing less. Have fun Jeff. May be the Musk Ox will give you a free ride on SpaceX? Blue Origin you say?

Just after I hit enter on this piece, Jeff's plea that he did nothing wrong, nothing at all popped up. As the many 'experts' on dictators have pointed out: they get going by instilling fear of retribution, and getting self-censorship in return. Note that Jeff says that there was no explicit quid pro quo involved. Well, as a very good line from a L&O episode put it (Claire), "like any good gift, it was a surprise". The Orange Shitgibbon©anon. has made clear, explicitly, he will use DoJ, IRS, and any other arm of the executive branch to attack anyone he finds 'disloyal'. Too bad he lost not only his hair but his gonads, too. A while ago.
"I would also like to be clear that no quid pro quo of any kind is at work here. Neither campaign nor candidate was consulted or informed at any level or in any way about this decision. It was made entirely internally," he wrote.
Jeff had no need to 'consult' with The Orange Shitgibbon©anon. before pulling the plug. He can't do that, because if he admits he's The Orange Shitgibbon©anon.'s bitch, everyone knows he's The Orange Shitgibbon©anon.'s bitch. Them's the words of a scaredy cat self-censor. You betcha.
