    No, they didn’t. Consumers just bought what was put on the shelves with the lower price tag. It wasn’t a geopolitical decision for the common man.

      That’s the decision. They made a decision there, to buy the cheaper product without thought of the consequences. We continue to pay for the average consumer’s lack of discretion.
