Honestly this isn’t hard.
Businesses plan more than a year in advance.
These labs carried on as long as they could make a profit without significant maintenance cycle costs.
Then they look at their market and whether the next cycle is worth the investment.
If we were in the EU they’d be looking into claiming that large market in 2026, instead they’re shuttering the business before it starts making a loss.
They’re looking at 5, 10, and 25 year profitability. You’re looking at a 1 year plan.
This is why politicians and their billionaire donors are so easily able to trick you into voting like an idiot. You choose not to think.
