How do you all feel about the looming Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) "free trade" agreement?
Like most trade agreements, this thing is bound to become law.
Critics like to say that such trade agreements are less about free trade than about creating an environment in which multinational corporations can thrive; that they provide a cudgel with which national laws must conform to international agreements; that the participant nations surrender their sovereignty to international cartels of corporate power; that they screw small businesses and labor alike, as their provisions are crafted by the corporations which they will govern; that they are negotiated in secrecy and promoted with the lie of "free trade".
Proponents say they're all happy goodness, and designed to benefit everybody, as we move forward in the global economy. Peace, brah.
I'm just presenting some objective information, and trying to see how folks feel about the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP).
