Read the TPP.. Skipped right to the HN comments about the TPP.

  It doesn't matter what the TPP actually says, or how that relates to the status quo. All that matters is that you are outraged about it, and you're angry and you're not going to take it for one more second. Whatever it is.

    I am legitimately pissed that the entire treaty was negotiated behind closed doors and we the people won't get any say about something that will have a big impact on the joined economies.

      There's no other sane way to negotiate large international treaties. The moment you open it to the public tens of thousands of political advocacy groups, lobbying groups, interest groups, protesters, etc from each country start yelling about all the things they want changed. You can't negotiate if your needs keep changing or are conflicting. Whether we like it or not the TPP really is the "gold standard" of international treaties. Unfortunately it turns out no treaty at all is probably better anyway.
