Related: About this forumWhere are the posts here critical of TPP??
Please, please tell me there are people in this group who know about TPP...I was shocked that in GD there was wholesale acceptance of TPP.(on the one thread I read)
Please just weigh in if you are cognizant that this is one of the worse pieces of legislation to come down the pike.
If you disagree don't bother: I won't read climate deniers, and I won't read you.
there MUST be some knowlegable people in this group.
(she says hopefully)
I didn't go back very far, so hopefully I missed the posts in this group.
thanks

And no, there hasn't been any discussion here about the TPP, and there should be.

(3,864 posts)I was surprised, as I said, of the wholesale acceptance of TPP, on this one thread.

(101,321 posts)I would have said that DUers are against it about 9 to 1. The only people for it are saying "trust Obama, he wouldn't do anything stupid".
I don't think it's been seen largely as an environmental issue on DU; more one of general power of the multinational companies. There are environmental aspects, but the big fear is the 'dispute resolution' process which allows corporations to get their wishes implemented by tribunals with appointed members who don't actually have to follow law, but just what they think is 'fair'.

It is one big ball of wax.
Once the climate goes - which is pretty much set in process, via feed-backloops -
what the corporations do or what anyone else does won't really matter.
and of course corporate practices accelerate climate change.
so it is one problem.
