A terrifying article about how corporate profit motive is exerting its power to destroy national sovereignty and public health concerns across the globe; what would ten years ago have sounded like the ramblings of a homeless liberal conspiracy theorist on the street reported as plain fact, and the top voted comment is "eww smoking is gross". Even considering enshrining this as standard operating procedure (i.e. TPP) would be so disgusting as to be unthinkable if it weren't currently happening and championed even by the "liberal" wing of the US political body; people should be able to decide the rules in their own country, not corporate lawyers overseas interested in maximizing how much profit they can milk from a foreign population against their will. The previous thought is so obviously morally correct and self-evident it should not need to be said and yet it does need to be said, which is horrifying.
