Geesh.

And no, there hasn't been any discussion here about the TPP, and there should be.

I tend to go through several pages of "Latest Threads" and not pay much attention to the group's they are in.

But,hey I just got 6,000 posts!

we tend to focus on what it does to the american worker and over look the damage to mother earth.

I was surprised, as I said, of the wholesale acceptance of TPP, on this one thread.

I would have said that DUers are against it about 9 to 1. The only people for it are saying "trust Obama, he wouldn't do anything stupid".

I don't think it's been seen largely as an environmental issue on DU; more one of general power of the multinational companies. There are environmental aspects, but the big fear is the 'dispute resolution' process which allows corporations to get their wishes implemented by tribunals with appointed members who don't actually have to follow law, but just what they think is 'fair'.

environmental and other causes.
It is one big ball of wax.
Once the climate goes - which is pretty much set in process, via feed-backloops -
what the corporations do or what anyone else does won't really matter.

and of course corporate practices accelerate climate change.
so it is one problem.

And this is my most posted-in forum, so my opinion should count for something.
