I have been going on and on about this thing for what feels like 2 years already. Since the very first documents of the Trans Pacific partnership were leaked. IT.IS.A.BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAD.THING.

Seriously. the only benefit that this has is that it allows corporations a great deal more freedom. It will not, and simply cannot benefit the average citizen of any of the countries involved. The very fact that the terms of it were and still are being kept as hidden as possible should be a massive red flag.

Like the trans pacific version of the deal its sole purpose is to protect and foster the "rights" of business to make profits, at any cost.

Part of the seduction of most religions is the idea that if you just say the right things and believe really hard, your salvation will be at hand.

With Jediism. No one is coming to save you. You have to get off your ass and do it yourself - Me

i hate to be doom and gloom but things are not going to get better - theyve been getting progressively worse for decades and the trend is not slowing in pace or in scope
there really is what amounts to an "evil empire" and it really is taking over

and it really is very, very bad

People are complicated.
