Can somebody explain the Trans-Pacific Partnership to me? Does it really mean that corporations can sue countries for cutting into their profit margins?

Is it still in existence or has it been killed off? Also,are there benefits that I am missing? Why would a country agree to it lol?

It's not countries that agree to things, it's politicians. Politicians will happily sell out their constituents/countries for personal profits. Tmyk

So, politicians are not beholden to their constituencies in the race for re-election?

I'm just confused as to why anyone would vote in a politican who agreed to this. My knowledge is incredibly limited on the matter and I am just curious as to what I am surely misssing.

It only came close a couple of times, and most of the herd voted for the two party dictatorship.
