>>98937818>>98938977Funnily enough, the global stock markets shitting the bed can actually help Anycolor a little bit, even with their own stock tumbling:
Not only can they use Trump's tariffs as a "technically not a lie" reason to close the EN branch without getting bonked by stock market regulators for lying to them or to the investors about their reasons for closing the branch, but it's a "reasonable" enough lie that the normie investors won't think to question it, since they probably think that all of the EN livers live in the US (even though at least a third of the EN livers don't live in the US, and two of them are Nihonjin who live in Japan). And on top of that, using the tariffs as the official reason to close the branch means they can just tell Rakuten and other third parties "Force Majeure lol" to cancel their outstanding business contracts without paying so much as 1/100 of one yen in contract cancellation fees.
...oh, and firing all hands due to "tariffs" necessarily means firing Twisty in particular, without having to officially admit that they're firing her or have ever otherwise punished her for telling the world that they went out of their way to protect a sex pest.
...oh, and firing all hands due to a "Force Majeure lol" reason means not needing to give the livers any sort of severance, despite firing them for reasons other than a breach of contract on their part.
But they'll still give the Luxiem boys and Elira some sort of severance package anyway because of course they will
