Now that the TPA has passed...

Goodbye Net Neutrality. Goodbye fast internet connection (it was slow to begin with, but now it will be a snails pace if the ISPs have their way). Goodbye food labeling. Goodbye environmental protections.

Hello GMOs. Hello more fracking. Hello higher drug prices.

Any more?

TPA will not do any of those things. TPA is an agreement between the President and Congress on the rules under which trade agreements will be considered and debated.

What do I mean, "biblical"?...
What I mean is Old Testament, real wrath-of-God type stuff...Fire and brimstone coming down from the skies. Rivers and seas boiling....
Forty years of darkness. Earthquakes, volcanoes...
The dead rising from the grave...
Human sacrifice, dogs and cats living together - mass hysteria!!!"
