If all this is true then it tells us a lot about what WILL be enforced if the TPP is implemented.

They won't care about the environment or worker's rights. All they will care about is financial instruments, copyrights, and intellectual property rights.

The future is being made safe for people who don't make anything or do anything. The future profiteers will be those that have access to protected financial instruments and use the profits therefrom to purchase up copyrights and IP and profit from rent seeking.

All hail our future nihilistic overlords.

I don’t see that any government “trade agreement” has ever benefited the vast majority of the citizen populations, in any nation.
Including the USA.

“The future is being made safe for people who don’t make anything or do anything”

I can’t argue with that statement.

Very well stated.
