Forums - Politics - Breaking: Trump withdraws US from TPP

Good. Not a single economist has been able to reliably show the benefits of these free trade agreements. The only thing that's sure is that jobs always suffer.
Or you do bilateral agreements, or none at all.

Isn't really news. This was already dead.



Ei Kiinasti.

Eikä Japanisti.

Vaan pannaan jalalla koreasti.

 

Nintendo games sell only on Nintendo system.

This was heading that way anyway, im more worried about that terrible global gag rule he signed.



Good! It's a shame our PM doesn't have the balls to do the same.



Made a bet with LipeJJ and HylianYoshi that the XB1 will reach 30 million before Wii U reaches 15 million. Loser has to get avatar picked by winner for 6 months (or if I lose, either 6 months avatar control for both Lipe and Hylian, or my patrick avatar comes back forever).

Free trade is good but difficult for the masses to understand.

Free trade with high quality standards for the products. The US can keep there chlorinated chickens.

But these are already proven to have far less bacteria than our chickens and at the same time only contain a tiny amount of rest chlorine that is not only harmless in that concentration, but also far lower than what your body absorbs during a swim in a pool.

It's just a tool used by critics to persuade the masses because chemicals sounds automatically bad.
The funny thing is, here in Europe people act like we have such high standards and TTIP will only lower them, but at the same time people in the US think that our standards are lower (and of course they are in some fields). So I guess no one has these "high quality standards" you're talking about.
