Came across this article which reminded me how stupid we were to pull out all our businesses.
Some, sure, but fast food?
I remember thinking about this when it happened.
So, you have a building. McDonald's owns it. They have employees, and they sell food.
"We'll have McDonald's pull out, that'll show them! Sanction! Sanction! Sanction!"
But that building, and those employees, and that business structure is all still there. So now instead of license fees being sent back to the States, they just keep all that money in Russia.
Seriously, we could have done a better job. If only we would have thought about for just two seconds...
