yes, especially with TPP I'm not a fan of "this is bad! it will kill regulations! end of story!", that's not even very accurate. I'm opposed to TPP as a whole but there is a lot going on with it, it's a sprawling set of arrangements and "globalization" in the most basic sense is not a bad thing, unless you'd prefer third world countries stay excluded from participating in international economies. It's a mixed bag for sure but globalization is kind of here to stay. I found http://fusion.net/story/265095/tpp-trans-pacific-partnership-explainer/ http://fusion.net/story/265095/tpp-trans-pacific-partnership... which at least explains some of what's going on with TPP and why some people might be in favor of it. In particular, it has some emphasis on the welfare of women and children which is likely why Hillary originally supported it (and I'm sure, in her not very secret meetings, she prefers something 95% like it in any case, just won't be called TPP). The intellectual property stuff is of course absolutely awful.
