Meanwhile, as everyone's focused on net neutrality, TPP v2 will potentially be rammed through in the form of the NAFTA Digital Chapter renewal next month all before anyone has even seen a word about it! You'd almost think this is deliberate misdirection. Keep everyone focused on something that matters so that something else that also matters slips through.
If it's not one fucking thing, it's another. Well, let's hope this will have awareness of it raised and that it will be fought against and defeated, just like TPP[1] and SOPA and PIPA and all the other bullshit that came before it.
[1] - Probably the one and only good thing Trump ever did as POTUS was kill TPP, and the only fucking reason he even did that was not because he actually cared about it or even knew what it was at all, but merely because it was a thing that Obama had been in favor of, just like Trump goddamn wants to kill everything else that Obama ever did, good or bad, for no other reason than just because Obama had something to do with it (which, of course, includes Net Neutrality). Likewise, the TPP was one of the few things Obama wanted to do that I disagreed with.
