Once again, what I'm saying is "people losing their jobs is a consequence of shutting down a business" is not "economic terrorism".

When the people who run those business factor this exact thing into their decision making, then yes, it's precisely that. You're acting as if the company is somehow entirely detached from these circumstances or that this all happened to them by accident.
