Hopefully, the greedy Conservative led ....Kock Industries will join the

large number of Companies Left and Right who have left Russia over profits.

"As hundreds of major U.S. companies exit Russia over its invasion of Ukraine, Koch Industries is staying put. 

The industrial conglomerate — the second-largest privately owned business in America, with $115 billion in annual revenue — is among those defying public pressure and continuing to operate manufacturing plants and sell products across Russia, while up until Wednesday remaining mum on that nation's relentless assault on Ukrainian cities. 

Wichita, Kansas-based Koch has several business lines in Russia, and is among the nearly 40 companies described as "digging in" by refusing to curb or stop business in that nation, according to a tally compiled by Yale University professor Jeffrey Sonnenfeld and his research team."

I can guarantee you 100% that every one of the woke corporations have only suspended operations and have every intention of resuming the moment Russia is out of the doghouse.  At least Koch is honest about it.  All this corporate virtue signaling is intended to do is keep the leftist mobs at bay and is not some principled stand.....much like their support of BLM, alphabet people, etc.  So for me, I don't care either way if they stop or continue to do business.  What I care about is having Ukraine inflict as much damage to Russia's military as possible.  Not serving McDonalds burgers in Moscow is probably a blessing for Muscovites.
