Please use spoiler tags whenever commenting a spoiler in a non-spoiler thread. Most of the Lemmy clients don't support this but we want to get into the habit as clients will be supporting in the future.

If you lose $100, you can write off $100 against your other gains. Why’d you need generational wealth?
Gonna go out on a limb speaking for myself and say, losing a hundred bucks isn't something that is really gonna push the needle on my 12k minimum write off. But, it will definitely keep me in the speculative ramen market for another few months.
Neither is 80M on a multi-billion multi-national corporation operation. WBD had $6.157B of gross income in FY2022 (FY2023 data aren't out yet, but it's close enough as a proxy). Writing off $80M against $6B is like someone with $100K incoming writing off 1.3K of losses. This is a drop in the bucket for them, just like how a couple hundred bucks are drop in the bucket for those of us that are some what privileged.
Word.
