Oh FFS

The US can't even protect workers living in a US territory, Saipan. The is no damn way a trade agreement is going to protect workers in Vietnam.

Sorry, I could not hold it any longer.

Peace.

How do people even get though their own basic lives with this kind of attitude?

'Just give up' (on protecting workers) is not the only alternative to 'doing 'trade deals'.

Some people go their whole lives believing in Santa Claus and I am sure they are very happy. Many of us see the world as it is.

Giving up is believing that the corporate states of America are Santa Claus.

Peace.

is one of many, many on the 'Built That' scrolls and scrolls: grindinginginging-down-to-the-nub perpetual agenda. Has been since we dared to walk upright. Think about it. It's either 'Put up' 'Shut up' 'Give up'. gives me reason to Get up, stand up, etc. At least. I figure more and more are bound to Wake Up. Bound to...yay internet.
