Quote:It could be much worse than it already is; corporations preventing those shit countries from enforcing whatever workers laws they may ever pass,already happens.

Quote:I'm not a fan of preventing a country from enforcing its own laws, and I'm also not a fan of enabling companies to obfuscate where their products have come from. Ain't about the polls by this point, but I'm happy enough to dedicate real time to that elsewhere some other time...........?
Quote:Like 2 months ago when it was relevant and terrifying everyone and their mother? All I've got to that recently is a celebration that it's gone, over macro issues with it. If I remember correctly, there's a lot of really confusing legalese in the lot of that agreement, so I may have read excerpts of that wrong. If that's the case, then, that's great
Not really, since...if that;s the case (which it is) we fucked the pooch for no reason at all.......
Quote:I still believe it's a better move to speak with my wallet regarding slavery than to allow corporations to shit on the sovereignty of nations, and that the overarching nature of the thing brings us down to their level, and shits on our rights (with the potential to shit on whatever rights may ever materialize in bangledesh and the like), and most importantly: that it further enables the departure of american manufacturing and business in general (re: buy murica).By rejecting TPP you were -enabling- countries to enforce slavery in order to maximise their competitive advantages in a global marketplace........their "sovereignty" to pay people slave wages is..ofc, sacrosanct.
Quote:Communist... more like fuckin libertarian :puke:Unlikely......being against global trade agreements is about the most anti-libertarian thing imaginable.....but, if, by "libertarian" you mean the koch fronted term in american slang for "gullible"..well......
