You know the sad thing about the TPP is? Legally, there isn't a thing you can do about it. Sure you can protest, you can lobby, you can write letters, you can spread the word but ultimately one company with a few million is worth a billion votes.

That's why I won't judge if I hear about a nailbomb being dropped in the lap of a TPP author.

Those who make peaceful change impossible make violent revolution inevitable.

CEOs of worldfucking corps are sure going to be in for a shock when joe extremist realises they're as explodable as any other corrupt leader. Somehow they've gotten away with everything being "just business" all this time.

edit: commenting on the news; this user brought up something I'd been showerthinking about... nobody should want this to actually happen.

I dont understand how something like this hasnt happened yet. Every time something ass-backwards is approved like the TPP i think "damn, some loon is gonna do something horrible to whoevers idea that was"

Theyre not loons and neither are we. We're angry!

You have no clue how fucking right you are. Free trade deals always cost the highest wage earners jobs. Why overpay for a service in Canada/US when you can do it through cheaper alternative and ship the results. Mid class jobs are almost all wiped out and this will exponentiate the job loss. Competing with countries that don't have labour laws like our own; for a wage most can't live on is unacceptable. I can't upvote you twice so enjoy the gold.

Isn't one goal of the TPP to enact and enforce labour laws in those countries?

[–]ScoobiusMaximus 0ポイント1ポイント  (1子コメント)

No, it's to repeal labor laws in ours.

Would you kindly divulge whence you attained this information?

They already started when the dimwits in office allowed H-1B visas to be used they way they are. Disney fired a entire division of white collar jobs and replaced them with cheap labor and they aren't the only one. If this passes every big business will get cheap labor and tank the economy.

The discussion regarding the TPP has now reached moronic levels

What, a bunch of keyboard warriors threatening to murder the writers of a multinational trade agreement on reddit doesn't strike you as a savy plan?

It oddly places corporations above the sovereignty of States (i.e., countries). Parties privy to TPP are beholden first to other TPP parties and must hold TPP's allegiance above those defined in any other document. Why such peculiar language...?

The Second Amendment doesn't seem so crazy now, does it?

God damn it if that's not the truest thing I've seen in weeks.
