  • I listened to both Mousey and Geega. We know Mousey and the Foundation are being owed money. Geega refused to answer directly if she was owed any as well but said she tried to get positioned for a good outcome when anything happens and mentioned thinking about potentially sending a truck to get merch stock if it comes to it.

    To me that sounds like Geega expects VShoujo might enter bankruptcy proceedings. I hope it doesn’t come to that because then not everyone is going to see all their money.

    Either way it feels like Vshojo has no clean way back from this. There will probably be an exodus of talents.

    I know Geega will be fine she did this indy stuff before and has a high degree of maturity in matters of business.

    For Mousey I’m a little worried emotionally. Even though she has a good support system with Connor and the boys and Zen and Mel and many other friends, I feel like she will be taking this very hard.

    I’m worried for Henya too. She still seems like she needs the support circle a lot, with the language barrier and everything as well. She was happy to be officially part of something and might be shy if she was an indie despite everyone telling her they can still collab.

    Oh and the JP branch! No idea how things work for them. Maybe if they have JP managers something can be split off over there without being corrupted?

    Michi and Kuro are also kind of hard cases, as relatively recent previous nijisanji victims.

    Mel can probably handle it, she has a strong indy history, though it will be emotionally hard as she was strongly connected to vshoujo early on. And the timing with her move is horrible.

    Sydney doesn’t need Vshojo at all, not worried for her.

    Froot and Haruka I know the least about among the EN ones, I think they were both personally struggeling already so this is not great. But I have the impression that Froot, Haruka, Zentreya, and Arielle form a pretty good group that can help each other.

    Kson will probably be fine too. She has the independant streak anyway as one of the big names to leave holo early on.




  • It functions like this:

    US American importers pay the tariffs to the US American state.

    The effect on EU entities is secondary in nature: The US American importers will either buy less from the EU entities and substitute the rest from other countries or they will try to buy the same more cheaply because they can’t keep up their previous value chain when the tariffs are included. Thereby demand for products from the EU will fall, hurting EU based exporters and more indirectly everyone up the chain from there.

    It will also hurt the US American importers and more indirectly everyone down the chain from there.

    Trump ignores the latter effect, and thinks the money raised for the US American state is more significant than it is. He also lies about the first step, but I think he knows how it really is, sometimes he lets it slip that he actually knows how tariffs work.
