Globalization and TPP

[fun n serious]

Globalization can not be stopped. Brexit and calls similar to that idea is just kicking the can down the road. IMO. It's curious how TPP will be impacted with this news. Thoughts?

1. TPP is bad because it removes sovereignty from nations, it gives corporations

power over nations. That's a bad idea.

2. Im all for free trade....

But I also believe we should always keep working on better deals. There is no perfect trade agreement, everyone comes to the table trying to get the upper hand.

3. Agreed, I am believer that we have to have some protection mechanisms though.

4. There are ISDS protections included, and...

Corporations are usually very unsuccessful at suing nations. Even when they win it us usually a miniscule amount of what they originally sued for. But I do agree that ISDS protections need a constant watchdog and oversight to be enforced.

5. I'm all for as long as corporations aren't allowed to shit all over our environmental protection

policies. I guess we will find out.

6. I agree. It's something we need to be very cautious about

but I think TPP is inevitable.
