More of a comment than a review, but I'm not really sure if this hook works out. Aren't most company closures/lay-offs depressing? Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 08:50, 4 October 2022 (UTC)Reply

Agree 100% with Naruto. It's akin to saying ... that when I was punched in the face, it hurt? Cbl62 16:00, 5 October 2022 (UTC)Reply
