Don't Make me start talking about Bauxite and the '70's
You call it business when you make a contract to buy a certain amount of product at a given price then renage without reason but then punish the supplier for selling -what you are contractually obligated to purchase but refuse to purchase- to a competitor?

That is extortion!...And if that is what you call business then it is no surprise that US businesses are "being targetted" because they are the ones most guilty of "Business" practices without regard to ethics, contracts of fair trade laws.

Don't get me started....

...too late! Just don't keep me going.
