The small businesses which IMHO are the lifeblood of this country trade on regardless. It's only the MNC's who try to swing everything in their favour and negate tariffs and dodge quality impositions. Do you remember the "Cash for questions" fraud in our own Parliament involving those dreadful Hamilton's? The WTO are about as much use as the UN and a chocolate teapot.

Every day millions of dollars are spent by the MNC's lobbying US Senators for beneficial assistance, meanwhile the little guys go about doing their thing! Trade and be damned.
