that said, the ONLY way to achieve fairness in a global economy is to assure that ALL workers are treated and paid, uhhhh, equally. what a concept! and we all know that is NEVER going to happen without a revolution the likes of which have ever existed. what is far more likely is that the zaibatsus who control the world economy for the most part will insist that, under the guise of the terror war, all civil liberties go bye bye, and a totally authoritarian system will clamp down on all dissent or action to provide a living wage to all citizens of the planet. good luck with that one.
and think of the TPP's ludicrous, secret 'arbitration' system to radioactive waste. there is simply NO WAY on earth to get past the completely toxic, unmanageable effects of either, one on the environment, the other on any sort of vestigial sovereignty that hangs on perilously, by the skin of its teeth.
we are so screwed.....
