Thanks meta. I need to go work out how I feel about this.

One fuckhead fucked over another fuckhead, and now the first fuckhead is getting paid.

The cost might make it less viable for one of the fuckheads to be a fuckhead going forward, so instead of two fuckheads we will just have one fuckheads.

It's one scoop of fuckhead instead of two scoops of fuckhead, so a net win, but still one too many fuckheads around.
