...they're trying to make it appear they're complying to avoid more abuse.

They aren't the 'fox' here, they're a foreign business trying to operate in what was, just a year ago, a friendly environment for them.

I'm certain they're well accustomed to dealing with dictatorial and autocratic regimes in conducting their business elsewhere, but this used to be a nation and government that respected commerce, and didn't have a president who treated workers and economic opportunity like it was their personal asset.

Maybe they should just fold up and leave this ignorant nation to fester in it's own swampy avarice and racism.
