I see the TPP as part of the obsolescence of the nation state in favor of global corporate governance. The incompetence you mention fits in with this-- those boobs are just leftovers from the old system. The fact that Donald Trump is being seriously considered for president should tell you that the nation state is dead.<p>Not saying this is a good thing. Read any 80s cyberpunk novel to see what&#x27;s coming. William Gibson was a prophet.
