(15,114 posts)Makes sense though. I mean, there are billions in profits at stake with TPP, and if we look under the rock to see the maggots it's always old liver spotted white male hands grasping for more profits.
We need to re-think 'free' trade, and make sure we institute 'fair' trade that promotes social and economic justice world wide. I mean, we have the workers without whom profit is impossible, and we have the environment that is being degraded because hey, it's an externality. And then we have the C class. The oligarchs. They pay lip service to 'increasing value for shareholders' but in reality they are lining their own pockets.
If we are going to have social and economic justice, then profits must be cut to allow for it. And the oligarchs aren't going to concede a penny without being forced by a political revolution.
