"Temporarily" does not preclude the later choice of "okay, that went to shit, so 'permanently'". I mean, sheesh, you expect their PR people to sign off on "permanently" if there's even a glimmer of hope of reopening down the road?
One of McDonalds main suppliers (intentionally being vague) was in the process of setting up the local supply chain (several factories and attached warehousing, admin, shipping, etc.)

Coca-Cola and now this. I don't really understand how the top companies of corporate America can decide against a customer base this large. Why are they stopping their profitble business? Dot tell me it's patriotism. They only act in self interest and for profit. Meaning they know there won't be any profit arriving from Russia and they started to cut their losses. Meaning..?
They also seem intent on making the Russian population healthier than the US one with these moves.
Given the history of Coca cola and McDonalds' effect on population health, one would think it would be more useful to 10x our exports of these poisons to our enemies.
