"This money should be spent on reparations for the innocent victims of global heating not handed out to the
corporations responsible for causing it.”

Guess us innocent victims need to start hiring & paying lobbyists.

Notice they use the word agreement in order to by-pass the word treaty. Because treaties must have 2/3 majority vote of the Senate in the US.

Though admittedly a lot of both party senators saw nothing wrong with giving away our sovereignty in this extra special deals for the filthy-rich. You know "free" markets for you but not for them.

We screamed about these nonjudicial courts with friendly corporate lawyers turned judges when we tried to stop these "free" trade agreements. We said this would happen.

And we warned that citizens and union groups would never get fair hearings in these very sketchy stacked tribunals.

But they went ahead with them anyway. And so now the filthy-rich funnel our tax dollars into their pockets thru their corporate wealth collection tools. All the while they monopolize our markets and destroying competition.

Free Trade agreements were a win win for our corporate masters. It's one of the reasons Trump and Brexit won. The little guy knew he was getting a raw deal in these free trade giveaways to the already filthy-rich. It's what fuels their hatred of the US.

I'm surprised Trump pushed tariffs because this is considered unfair according to these tribunals and arbitration clauses in these agreements. I guess he's fine with doling out our tax dollars despite him being the cause for them.

... be a shame if sumpthin' was to happen to it.

Yet another instance of corporate swine* hijacking a Mafia business model of extortion. Pay us for NOT poisoning your progeny with our toxic products. And remember, our profits are more important than your lives.

Welcome to corporate America. We hope you brought your wallet.
