Is free trade supposed to be a bad thing? Asking for a friend.

Wait, I'm confused is Free Trade a good thing or a bad thing?

Of course it's good, it's free.

The better question is whether this actually makes trade more free or not.

Sorta surprised the aren't out and about about the secrecy of this whole thing.

No way. Not given what we have learned so far about these deals. Free trade is one thing these treaties stifle freedom and give too much power to corporations.

I disagree with many of my liberal friends on this one. I think the benefits of the TPP far outweigh the costs.

You need to do some more reading on it then. Multinationals wrote this to suit themselves it isn't about free trade.

I never really knew about this stuff till I heard a Dan Carlin podcast. Corporations are taking over.

Yeah, seems to be pretty far from anything resembling free trade honestly.
