My god, is this as horrifying as it has sounded? Is this the thing that will eliminate altogether the remaining line between corporations and politics? It just seems like with the TPP, we're completely done pretending that people still have some power to control things, and we're just giving corporations--none of whom have our best interest anywhere near their agendas--total control over anything they see fit to control, with no remaining check or control against them. Is that really what this is?

The problem is we don't know. Portions of early drafts were leaked to Wikileaks, but beyond that the only people that know what's in it are the representatives and corporate lobbyists that wrote it.

Thanks for your reply! Much appreciated! I'm scared about this thing. I'm pretty afraid.
