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.

1. So, just give up?

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

2. False dilemma.

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

3. LOL

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.

5. "No trade deal ever" is giving up in the extreme.

It has nothing to do with mythical figures or corporations, it has to do with you.

6. Believing this trade deal

is about protecting workers is giving up on logical thinking. It is about you.

7. Giving up

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.

4. That is not the issue. The issue is that trade agreement assurances are likely not worth spit.

8. If anyone has any delusions that workers will be protected by owners

anywhere in this solar system I have a bridge to sell them in west Texas ...
