Why So Secretive? The Trans-Pacific Partnership as Global Corporate Coup

You'd be better off here:

than this article. Also, it's pure, distilled politics; what would it be doing here on HN? There's a whole Internet full of sites where this stuff is germane. Flagged.

My guess is that he posted it as it may affect the IT-industry and startups therein severely, something HN is covering.

That's been said about virtually every political story posted here.

That is indeed why I posted it as startups (and any other business) will be affected by these changes. It's sometimes useful to have a macro view of the world.

What I'd like to understand is why governments in any country that isn't the US would agree to any of this stuff. I think that's the real question here.

So what can we do about this?
