18. How is manufacturing goods in one country

and shipping goods across the world in containers that aren't reused for the most part good for the planet?

Clue: it's not.

Corporations should produce the goods and sell them to the market where they are produced.

But the corporate whore politicians sold out their constituencies & the environment, and enabled corporations to make obscene amounts of profit on the backs of wage slaves.

No one has been lifted out of poverty. Wage slaves making a dollar or 2 or 10 a day isn't lifting people out of poverty when there's no clear hope or path to a better future. Labor has no seat at the free trade table. It's modern day feudalism.

And since the fuck when should I, as a taxpayer, be on the hook for perceived profit losses should our regulations stand in the path or a corporation selling their shit to us. Are you fucking kidding me.

Yea ask all the countries that are being sued for wanting to put warnings on packs of cigarettes. It won't happen here but it's happening around the world. Countries are being sued for trying to protect their citizens v

Our government has no fucking business enabling the profits of any corporation. Government used to be in the business of protecting the people.
