> There's no hint of laying off all the staff here though. Now it sounds like they "were" excited to lay off people to maximize profits.

What? Just because a statement says "we're excited to do X" doesn't mean they're not also planning to do A, B, C, Y and Z.

I'm not defending the layoff. It just seems weird to interpret the statement itself as somehow being misleading about a subject that it literally didn't mention.

There's letter and spirit of the word. You're arguing against the spirit of the word because the letter of the word is technically impossible to prove as a lie right now.

We call this lawful evil logic for a reason. It's how you empower stuff like Jim Crow laws (or the current US administration in general. "Well he isn't going to actually invade a NATO ally, he's just saying he wants Greenland. I want a Ferrari!")
