Comic book explains why the Transpacific Partnership serves no one but the ultra-rich

And what country in the world is going to negotiate with a country that is going to change the terms of the treaty after negotiation?

That’s missing the point. The terms and limits of the negotiation need to be transparent and public in the first place. That benefits the public and cracks down on corrupt side deals that merely benefit the elite few. Fast track is an enabler for opaque corruption. If the elite few don’t like transparency, then tough shit.

I am, of course, referring to its legal meaning

I’m referring to its literal meaning as it applies to the TPP in reality.
