fuck NAFTA
Lori talks a lot but in conflicting terms. If you force the Mexico wage to be higher artificially, I don't see how this is better for Mexico as they aren't competitive any longer. Some of the products were outsourced because they cannot pass environmental law in the US. If you force it upon the Mexicans, don't you need to manufacture them in China? Finally, no mentioning of Canada which is the true loser of Nafta 2.0.
Trump won the NAFTA negotiations, just say it. Which is great for Americans but terrible for Canadians and Mexicans… and the environment.
And the idea that House Democrats, who religiously champion Big Pharma, might ever try to remove the pork legislation from the agreement regarding drugs, is laughable. How did she even say all this with a straight face!
Why are TRNN interviews split into multiple "parts", and why are the "parts" not organized in a simple, sequential manner that is easy to follow but are rather spread around the Internet in a disorganized jumble and therefore difficult to find? Is something gained by this?
When the pharmaceutical companies have 10 yrs to sell drugs they develop, it helps fuel innovation with incentives. Hopefully there are rules in place for profit margins.
I still don't quite understand this new NAFTA. This legislation is too complicated. We want the gift not the wrapping paper, keep it simple. We the people need to limit these bills to 5 pages so we can read them & vote directly online. Transparency!
