Again, you guys in leadership positions... please learn how trade sanctions and boycotts are supposed to work:

• Don't buy from someone, don't give them money -> Possibly an effective boycott, if you can get everyone on board. They lose money, and you're only out of the good or have to pay more to get it somewhere else.

• Don't sell to someone, don't take their money -> They buy from somewhere else. If they can't, they start their own toilet company. YOU leave money on the table. You're stuck with unsold goods, and possibly created new competitors flush with the cash they didn't give you.

I don't know why the whole world collectively got the impression that not selling bog-standard products to Russia was somehow sticking it to them. But don't worry we'll buy your gas, Putler!
