Canada, TPP members agree to revised deal without the United States

So how did the first world develope? Did some fucking aliens offer us trade deals a trade deal is a trade deal, its supposed to be a deal of mutual benifit. I get something, you get something, we'e we're both happy. We're not supposed to waste some of our negotiating capital on dragging a eighteenth centuray morality into the twenty-first century. Look, I'm for enlightened civilized society. I want less child labor and less war and more womens rg rights. But what I want more then those things in the contexxt of a Ah, I remember well when the first five countries that developed sat down to a trade deal with those Aliens from Alpha Sentory where they told us we have to give women the vote, get rid of slavery, end child labor, addeAh, I remember well, how the first world developed.

Those aliens from Alpha sentori offered us a trade deal. The catch was that we had to end slavery, give women the vote, create an eight hour work week, address workers compensation, protect workers right to unionize, end child labor, etc et. Do you remember when that happened? A trade deal isn't supposed to be an aid package and a preecher. Its supposed to expand American fucking markets! Or, if you aren't American, expand your markets! You want to develope a country, join the fucking peace core. Its 2018. Any country that hasn't already passed good labor laws is diliberately in the dark ages. What, you think the leaders of these places don't know that other countries have ended child labor? You think that fact has passed them by? It hasn't. These countries have chosen not to end it. Because their people aren't holding their governmentaccountabl. And if their own people aren't holding their own governments to account, I'm hard pressed to see whwe should. If that's how you feel you might as well ad gay marriage, social security and direct democracy.
