Pasting a significant size of the article, don't be lazy! Should take you a minute to read through it. Trans Pacific Partnership countries. http://www.nytimes.com/2015/10/06/business/trans-p... http://www.bbc.com/news/business-34444799 What is going to happen to the economy? Both short and long term? How many jobs are going to be lost locally this time? I dont have too many concrete concise thoughts on the matter, still swimming in the shallow pool trying to learn the lexicon or the rubbish jargon they shield them selves and some of the stuff they pass. "We have to pass it to find out whats in it" I need to watch this vid when I get the time:
To think these JERKS, spent years of bullshit and bak-shish tearing these agreements up, some years back ...only to re-install again, a 'boys club' for jerks, and those who like to ride the 'gravy train'

Believe it or not but this is could a good thing, if Trump is elected that would be the icing. If the human race collectively lets a bunch of old wrinkly men rob and enslave us blind, maybe its for the best. Sometimes you win, sometimes you learn. Maybe this might be the straw that breaks the working tax payers back. And if not, well I have already started to learn basic Mandarin and Cantonese, so that way when China comes and puts us all into camps, I would at least have some advantage.
I too plan to learn Chinese Even if shit doesn't happen, I can get a good job in the tourism industry -Yuri
Rigged system. Meanwhile, Hillary in 2012: "This TPP sets the gold standard in trade agreements to open free, transparent, fair trade, the kind of environment that has the rule of law and a level playing field. And when negotiated, this agreement will cover 40 percent of the world's total trade and build in strong protections for workers and the environment." Dumb fucks.
