One Point Eighty Seven BILLION Dollars! Bwahahaha!

Okay people listen up! Volvo yes the Swedish car company not the delicious meatball place has announced they're cutting costs by... wait for it... ONE POINT EIGHTY SEVEN BILLION DOLLARS! That's almost enough to buy a small moon laser or maybe... just maybe... buy Volvo itself! I mean one MILLION dollars isn't that much these days is it? Especially when you're Doctor Evil!

Operating Profit? More Like Operating *Deficit*! Groan!

Their operating profit? Down in the dumps! A measly 1.9 billion krona compared to 4.7 billion last year. That's like going from swimming in sharks with frickin' laser beams attached to their heads to... swimming in slightly agitated goldfish! Their excuse? Inventory currency and... *turbulence*? Oh the turbulence of being a giant corporation! Cry me a river people! A river of... *lava*!

Cost Cutting: The First Step To World Domination... I Mean Corporate Recovery!

Now they're talking about cutting investments and... gasp... redundancies! Layoffs! People losing their jobs! This is terrible! But also... *incredibly* useful! More available talent for my evil schemes! I'll take one brilliant Swedish engineer extra evil please. Oh and make sure they know how to install frickin' laser beams.

No Financial Guidance? They're Basically Admitting Defeat! Muahahaha!

They've withdrawn their financial guidance for 2025 and 2026! That's corporate speak for 'We have absolutely no idea what we're doing!' Tariff pressure they say. It's always someone else's fault isn't it? Never the fact that they're probably building cars powered by... hamsters on tiny treadmills! (Note to self: investigate hamster powered cars. Might be surprisingly evil... and sustainable!)

Trade Deals? More Like *Evil* Deals! (For Everyone Else)

Their CEO is whining about trade deals with the U.S. 'Oh it's going to be very difficult for the business!' Boo hoo! Maybe if they spent less time building sensible safe cars and more time building... cars with ejection seats that launch unsuspecting passengers into orbit they'd be doing better! Just a thought!

Electrified Cars? Sounds Like a Good Way to ZAP My Enemies!

Apparently 43% of their sales are 'electrified cars.' That's good I suppose. More electricity means more potential for... EMP attacks! I'm just saying a fleet of electric Volvos could be surprisingly useful for disabling security systems and causing general mayhem! Maybe I should invest after all...
